Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke is a public health problem that in this study occurs most frequently in the male sex, between the ages of 20 and 64 years. The main risk factor associated is arterial hypertension, especially in patients not fully controlled. Objective: To determine the frequency of hemorrhagic stroke and the relation with arterial hypertension in diagnosed cases in “Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital”, during the 2015 - 2017 period. Methods and Material: This descriptive study is based on the search about the characteristics and control of arterial hypertension in 80 patients with hemorrhagic stroke admitted in “Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital”, during the 2015 – 2017 period, through the revision of the clinical discharge record in medicine department during this period. Results: 80 patients showed hemorrhagic stroke; 52.2% male sex. 51.3% between ages 20 and 64 years; 50% with complete primary education level; 48,8% married. 61.2% (49 cases) had arterial hypertension, out of these 77,5% (38 patients) where previously diagnosed and 31,6% had pharmacological management; 26,5% with Losartan. Conclusions: In this study we found that arterial hypertension is the main factor risk associated with hemorrhagic stroke and is mainly common in patients without treatment. Furthermore, unmodifiable risk factors such as age and sex can increase the frequency of hemorrhagic stroke.
