Ítem Acceso Abierto Determinaciones que desencadenan las complicaciones de la hipertensión arterial en adultos mayores(Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Extensión San Pablo de La Troncal, 2024-01-08) Rodríguez Ortíz, Jeremy Steven; Dolores Quizphi, Deicy; 0303023378The determinants of arterial hypertension are the systolic and diastolic components that depend on cardiac output volume and peripheral vascular resistance. Arterial hypertension in elderly patients is one of the most common diseases due to factors leading to cardiovascular complications and a case fatality rate of 30% in America. The study aimed to identify the determinants triggering the complications of arterial hypertension in older adults. A qualitative-descriptive search was conducted, in full-text, in English and Spanish, examining the sources consulted for the research: SciELO and Google Scholar, using various studies conducted from 2018 to 2023 as a foundation. The information available from the data reviewed in 17 publications, mainly in Ecuador and Latin America, revealed the risk factors with the highest incidence of developing hypertension: inappropriate diet, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and family history. The study concluded that complications of arterial hypertension were more predominant in the Afro-descendant ethnic group and among females in the older adult population. Risk factors influence multiple cardiovascular diseases associated with organ damage. Notably, the prevalence in geriatric patients linked to high blood pressure is relatively influenced by the benefit of multiple pharmacotherapy treatments and altered pharmacokinetics inherent to this elderly group.
