La hipertensión arterial, enfermedad y factor de riesgo para otras enfermedades, es la más común de las condiciones que afectan la salud de los individuos y las poblaciones en todas partes del mundo. En el área de salud “José Martí” del municipio Camagüey, en el período comprendido de abril 2008 a julio 2009, se evidenció una alta incidencia de esta entidad. Para tratar de resolver la situación planteada, se realizó la presente investigación, formulándose como objetivo, desarrollar una estrategia educativa en enfermería para contribuir al cuidado biopsicosocial del adulto mayor hipertenso en la comunidad. Para ello, se combinaron métodos y técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas: modelación, revisión de documentos, grupo nominal, criterios de expertos, entrevistas, encuestas y la observación.

Unsafe health and safety: sphygmomanometer cuffs are not interchangeable
Por: K C Shaw, C M McEniery, I B Wilkinson y M J Brown. Journal of Human Hypertension (2013) 27, 434–436
Unknown to its hypertension specialists, a major teaching hospital changed the cuffs on its sphygmomanometers from manufacturer-validated to a uniform washable alternative, in line with ‘Health and Safety’ concerns surrounding potential cross-contamination between patients. When clinic doctors suspected serious under-reading with the new cuffs, a systematic comparison was undertaken in 54 patients (mean±s.d. age, 61±17 years), using two UM-101 sphygmomanometers, one using the original, manufacturer-supplied cuff and the other with the washable replacement.

The Global Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Patients with hypertension disease (GOOD) survey investigated the global cardiometabolic risk profile in 3464 adult outpatients with hypertension across 289 sites in 12 European countries. The pulse pressure and heart rate profile of the survey population was evaluated according to the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus. History and treatment of hypertension were not counted as criteria for metabolic syndrome as they applied to all patients. [Actualizado: 17 de junio 2013].
Central blood pressure in the management of hypertension: soon reaching the goal?
Por: J E Sharman y S Laurent. Journal of Human Hypertension (2013) 27, 405–411.
Blood pressure (BP) is conventionally measured by cuff at the brachial artery as an indication of pressure experienced by the organs. However, individual variation in pulse pressure amplification means that brachial cuff BP may be a poor representation of true central BP. Estimation of central BP is now possible using non-invasive methods that are amenable for widespread use. This paper reviews the evidence regarding the potential value of central BP in hypertension management. [Actualizado: 17 de junio 2013]
