“…Dizziness can sometimes be a symptom of hypertensive crisis. According to F eitosa -F ilho 18 , the hypertensive crisis is a clinical condition characterized by a sudden increase in blood pressure (to ≥180/120 mmHg) accompanied by symptoms that may be mild (headache, dizziness, and tinnitus) or severe (dyspnea, chest pain, coma, and even death) with or without acute lesion of a target organ. Therefore, dizziness may be the first warning sign to direct the patient or clinician to investigate the possibility of hypertension.…”

Summary Introduction: Advancing age increases the risk for a number of chronic diseases. Hypertension and dizziness are highly prevalent in the elderly population and represent major health problems. Objective: To verify the association between complaints of dizziness and the presence of hypertension in non-institutionalized elders. Method: This was a prospective cross-sectional cohort study of the elderly population of Londrina, Paraná in terms of aging and longevity. The required sample size was calculated, and subjects e” 60 years of age of both genders were selected at random. Data were collected using a questionnaire covering socio-demographic information and self-reported cases of hypertension and dizziness. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test with p d” 0.05 as the level of significance. Results: The study included 493 elderly subjects, of whom 257 (52.1%) complained of dizziness and 308 (62.5%) reported a diagnosis of arterial systemic hypertension. Dizziness was significantly associated with hypertension (χ2 = 6.26, p = 0.01) and female sex. Conclusions: Hypertension and dizziness were both highly prevalent and were significantly associated, showing the great need for investments in preventive measures.

“…Outro dado que chama atenção é que quase a totalidade dos hipertensos que utilizavam medicação, referiu o uso regular das mesmas, inferindo a necessidade de acompanhamento regular dessa população. Nesse sentido, nota-se a importância do paciente hipertenso ser acompanhado mensalmente para verificar-se a necessidade de alterar a dose ou modificar as medicações em uso, de acordo com os níveis pressóricos e da sintomatologia referida pelo mesmo 12 .…”

As emergências hipertensivas (EH) são entidades clínicas caracterizadas pela elevação aguda e significativa da pressão arterial (PA) associada a sintomas graves que evidenciam lesões de órgãos-alvo. Esse estudo objetivou traçar o perfil dos pacientes atendidos em emergência hipertensiva em um hospital público de Salvador. Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo. Os dados foram coletados entre 03/11/15 e 03/02/16, através do prontuário e processados no programa SPSS versão 21®. A estatística descritiva foi utilizada para análise dos dados. A amostra constituiu-se de 57 pacientes. A média de idade encontrada foi de 66,9 anos, com predominância do sexo feminino (52,6%) e da cor parda (93,0%). Aproximadamente 68,4% dos pacientes apresentavam histórico de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS). As EHs diagnosticadas foram o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) isquêmico (61,4%), seguido do AVC hemorrágico (29,8%), da insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (5,3%) e do infarto agudo do miocárdio (3,5%). 28,1% desses pacientes evoluíram com complicações. Em relação aos valores da PA encontrados na admissão, a média de pressão sistólica foi de 189,8 mmHg, enquanto que a média de pressão diastólica foi de 105,7 mmHg. Conclui-se que os AVCs, especialmente os isquêmicos, foram as EH mais frequentes na amostra. Faz-se necessário a efetivação de medidas de prevenção dos fatores de risco associados à HAS, assim como direcionadas ao controle dos níveis pressóricos para redução do número de atendimentos por emergência hipertensiva e demais complicações das doenças cardiovasculares.

Such complications may culminate with the worsening of the situation, leading to the search for emergency services and hospitalizations 8,9 .…”
