Introducción: la presión arterial elevada es el principal factor de riesgo de enfermedad global. En la República Dominicana el 31 % de la población padece de hipertensión arterial (HTA) y de este, un 60 % lleva tratamiento médico.
Objetivo: determinar los niveles tensionales en individuos no hipertensos entre 18-65 años en la comunidad de Pizarrete Abajo, durante el período agosto-septiembre 2018.
Metodología: estudio prospectivo, descriptivo y de corte longitudinal, en el que se analizaron 85 individuos que residen en la comunidad de Pizarrete Abajo, de los cuales 44 resultaron con niveles tensionales alterados.
Resultados: el 51.7 % de los encuestados presentó niveles de tensión arterial alterados, sin haber sido anteriormente diagnosticado con hipertensión arterial. Un 24 % de las personas mostró niveles alterados una semana después de la primera toma de presión arterial.
Conclusiones: en una muestra de 85 personas se encontraron niveles tensionales alterados en 44 individuos. Se procedió a una segunda toma de presión arterial una semana después de la primera y se observó que un 56.8 % correspondió a valores tensionales elevados, un 20.4 % a valores de HTA estadio 1 y un 18.1 % a valores de HTA estadio 2.
Introduction: High blood pressure is the main risk factor for global disease. In the Dominican Republic, 31% of the population suffers from arterial hypertension (HTN) and of these, 60% have medical treatment. Objective: To determine blood pressure levels in non-hypertensive individuals between 18-65 years of age in the community of Pizarrete Abajo during the period of August - September 2018. Methodology: Prospective, descriptive, and longitudinal study in which 85 individuals residing in the community of Pizarrete Abajo were analyzed, of which 44 resulted in altered blood pressure levels. Results: 51.7% of the individuals presented altered blood pressure levels without previously being diagnosed with hypertension. 24% of people showed altered levels one week after the first blood pressure measurement. Conclusions: In a sample of 85 people, altered blood pressure levels were found in 44 individuals. A second blood pressure measurement was carried out one week after the first measurement and it was observed that 56.8% corresponded to high blood pressure values, 20.4% corresponded to stage 1 HTN levels, and 18.1% corresponded to stage 2 HTN levels.
