Background:
the preventive nature of the Cuban health system, as a principle for its development, guides the training of a doctor who consistently responds to the health problems of the population; hence medical education prepares them to apply the latest scientific findings in disease prevention and treatment.
Objective:
to assess the contribution of an educational-therapeutic diagnostic strategy aimed at preventing vascular complications caused by hypertension.
Methods:

Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, systemic-structural, holistic-dialectical, hermeneutical-dialectical and inductive-deductive; empirical ones: surveys, documentary analysis, socialization workshop with specialists, and educational techniques; statistics: descriptive techniques and percentage analysis.
Results:
a strategy consisting of educational-therapeutic intervention actions was applied, it was concretized in a health educational diagnosis project, which allowed to increase the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients about their disease; after its implementation, it was found that they did not develop vascular complications, which generated a greater commitment to their health.
Conclusions:
the specialists valued the professional scientific nature of the strategy and its relevance as adequate. Its implementation contributed to the education of patients as a contribution to medical education at the primary health care level.
