Enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica e hipertensión arterial en el hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo
Summary: schemic cerebrovascular disease is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is define as the death of brain tissue caused by arterial obstruction that limits blood supply. The present research work was carried out at the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital in the city of Guayaquil, whose objective was to determine the relationship between ischemic cerebrovascular disease and arterial hypertension in patients over 40 years of age from January 2016 to December 2020. Methodology: This research is retrospective, correlational, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental research design and cross section. Its universe is all patients over 40 years of age with a diagnosis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and arterial hypertension treated at the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 and who had their complete medical records, that is, 476 patients; the sample was converted into all the patients in the universe who meet the aforementioned inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Of the total sample, 63.2% correspond to the male sex; the predominant age range was from 71 to 80 years and 37.2% of the patients had grade 1 hypertension. The association between ischemic cerebrovascular disease and grades of hypertension was determined, showing a significant association (P-VALUE=0.001 <0,05).
