Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AHT) was identified as a chronic pathology characterized by persistent elevated pressure in the arteries. Diaz (2015) pointed out that its prolonged installation damaged blood vessels and myocardium, constituting the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Studies such as RENATA-2 (Delucchi & Obregón, 2017) evidenced that, between 2015 and 2016, the prevalence of HTN in Argentina reached 36.3%, with an increase of 8.5% compared to RENATA-1. The National Survey of Risk Factors (2018) recorded elevated blood pressure in 40.6% of the population. The Ministry of Health implemented programs such as “Less salt, more life” and trained health teams to improve prevention and control. Sánchez Cabezas (2022) highlighted the key role of nursing in diagnosis and treatment, particularly in adult males, who more frequently abandoned treatment due to work conditions and lack of time
