Resumo(s)
As Doenças Cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de morte a nível mundial, sendo a Hipertensão Arterial (HTA) um dos principais fatores de risco modificáveis.
Em Portugal, a prevalência de HTA é cerca de 42%. Destes, 46% dos casos são conhecidos e apenas 11% dos doentes se encontram controlados. Estes números demonstram a necessidade urgente de implementação de medidas eficazes de diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamento da HTA.
Visto que a maioria dos doentes são acompanhados nos cuidados de saúde primários e não por um médico especialista, é de extrema importância a existência de Normas de Orientação Clínicas (NOC) que auxiliem os médicos no diagnóstico e tratamento desta patologia de forma eficaz.
As NOC são recomendações técnico-científicas que visam auxiliar os médicos na tomada de decisões relativas ao tratamento e diagnóstico das mais diversas patologias. Existem várias NOC direcionadas para o tratamento da HTA, sendo que estas apresentam apenas ligeiras diferenças entre elas.
Deste modo, a presente monografia pretende comparar as diferentes normas e chegar a um racional terapêutico, tendo como base a situação clinica do doente e o estadio da HTA.
Cardiovascular Disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with hypertension as one of the major modifiable risk factors. In Portugal, the prevalence of hypertension is around 42%. 46% of this fraction is diagnosed and 11% is controlled. These numbers highlight the need for an urgent application of effective measures for hypertension diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Since most patients are followed in primary care units and not by a resident doctor, the existence of practical guidelines (PG) is of utmost importance in order to effectively aid medical staff in this pathology’s diagnosis and treatment. The PG are scientific and technical recommendations that aim to help doctors in the decision process relative to diagnosis and treatment of several diseases. There are several PG directed for hypertension treatment with minor differences between them. This review aims to compare all the different guidelines and reach a therapeutic rationale, having the patient’s clinical status and it’s hypertension stage as its main starting point.
