BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Studies show that it is
essential to control and treatment of hypertension in order to re-
duce cardiovascular events. It is estimated that approximately 30
million Brazilians are afflicted by disease. The aim of this study was
to analyze the profile of the therapy used in hypertensive patients
in a public hospital, as well as identify key comorbidities by gender.
METHOD: This is a descriptive retrospective study, by analyzing
medical records of patients treated between May to July 2010 the
Cardiology Outpatient Clinic at Hospital de Goiânia (HUGO).
We used mean and standard deviation of data for planning and
subsequently were treated statistically.
RESULTS: We analyzed medical records of 103 patients with
mean age 59.41 ± 14.12 years, 52% female. The main comor-
bidities associated female were dyslipidemia (20%), diabetes mel-
litus and neoplasm’s (16%). In contrast in males were dyslipid-
emia (25%), Chagas disease (18%) and neoplasm’s (16%), but
differences were not significant. Hypertension may have been re-
sponsible for the appearance of 49 (48%) of diagnosed cases
of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (CHF) and cere-
brovascular accident (CVA) during treatment of hyperten-
sion (p < 0, 032). The most commonly used therapy for the
treatment of hypertension in this study was the association of
three or more medications, diuretics (26%), inhibitors of angio-
tensin converting enzyme (ACEI) 29% and adrenergic inhibi-
tors (22%) were prescribed on antihypertensive therapy.
CONCLUSION: A more effective therapy is the prevention, be
aware of the risk factors and to always seek the patient’s adher-
ence to treatment.
