Resumen

MOLERIO PEREZ, Osana; ARCE GONZALEZ, Manuel Antonio; OTERO RAMOS, Idania  y  NIEVES ACHON, Zaida. Stress as a risk factor for essential arterial hypertension. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 2005, vol.43, n.1. ISSN 0253-1751.

Arterial hypertension is a disorder of muticausal character, which determines the existance of different etiologic ways and obliges to evaluate the interactive effects of different variables on arterial pressure. The identification of the risk factors is an important task for its prevention, treatment and control. Stress stands out among the factors that have been studied in relation to hypertensive disorders. However, there has been no consensus on the role of stress in arterial hypertension. That's why, on concluding an extensive theoretical review on this topic, we present in this paper some results of scientific researches supporting the role of stress in the genesis and evolution of arterial hypertension that evidence the need of incorporating actions connected with this aspect as part of the preventive strategies directed to modify the risk factors in the hypertensive patient.

Palabras clave : Stress; risk factor; hypertension; confrontation.
