Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the level of knowledge about arterial hypertension in patients of the Motupe Health Center. The methodology was descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 34 patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension, where the “Questionnaire of knowledge about arterial hypertension” was used, which consists of two parts; the first part collects the sociodemographic characteristics: sex, age, occupation, marital status and academic level, and the second part is divided into four dimensions of knowledge about arterial hypertension: generalities of arterial hypertension, risk factors, control measures and treatment, with scores between 0-38 points, and the results were classified as: high level of knowledge 25 to 38 points, medium level of knowledge 13 to 24 points, low level of knowledge 0 to 12 points. Analysis of the results showed that 50% of the population had a medium level of knowledge, 44% had a high level of knowledge, and only 5.9% had a low level of knowledge. It is concluded that, despite the fact that the majority of patients have a medium level of knowledge about arterial hypertension, there are deficiencies in their knowledge
