Hipertensión Arterial y riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2, atendidos en el Hospital Isidro Ayora de Loja

In Ecuador, 46% of the population is hypertensive, and 7.8% is diabetic. Both diabetes mellitus type 2 and arterial hypertension cause microvascular and macrovascular complications. In addition, they provoke cardiovascular risk in middle-aged and older adults. This research aimed to establish the degrees of arterial hypertension, stratify the cardiovascular risk according to age group and sex, and settle the relationship between these variables in patients treated in the endocrinology outpatient care and internal medicine appointments of the Isidro Ayora Hospital in Loja. A quantitative study with a transversal- prospective cohort was conducted with 78 diabetic patients, 49.72% (n=38) female and 51.28% (n=40) male, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After measuring the participants' blood pressure according to the European Cardiology Guide and the World Health Organization cardiovascular risk calculator, we obtained that 34.62% (n=27) presented high normal blood pressure; prevalence in women with 17.95%(n=14), in ages 60 to 69 years 10.24%(n=8); 26.9% (n=21) grade 1 HT, predominant in men 11.52% (n=9), in ages 60 to 79 years 10.24% (n=8); 21.75% (n=17) with optimal and normal values, higher in men 11.52% (n=9), in ages 60 to 69 years 5.13% (n=4); cardiovascular risk was low in 43.59% (n=34), women 26.88% (n=21), in ages 50 to 69 years 11.52% (n=9); moderate in 23.08% (n=18), women 16.64% (n=13), in ages 70 to 79 years 12.82% (n=10); and high in 20.51% (n=16) men, in ages 70 to 79 years 12.82% (n=10);.The relationship between the degrees of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular risk is statistically significant with a value of "p" 0.001. We concluded that men have a higher level of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular risk
