A não-adesão ao tratamento da hipertensão arterial pode ocorrer devido a diversos fatores que podem estar relacionados ao paciente (hábitos de vida, crenças e hábitos culturais); à própria doença (cronicidade e ausência de sintomas); ao tratamento (efeitos incômodos das drogas); e ao acesso ao tratamento (5) .…”
