Researchers are studying the quality of primary health care for patients with arterial hypertension, a common condition that significantly impacts population health and mortality. This observational study uses data from a cardiovascular disease registry to analyze how well medical care aligns with current clinical recommendations. The research aims to identify trends and improve treatment approaches for patients with hypertension, including secondary forms. The study collects medical data through a computerized arterial hypertension registry with remote access, allowing online entry of patient information from outpatient records. Doctors received training to reduce data entry errors, and a user guide was provided. Patients aged 18 and older with diagnosed hypertension have their anonymized examination and treatment data added to the registry after giving informed consent. Participants involvement includes the collection of medical data from their outpatient records, which is transmitted securely and anonymously. Researchers will monitor outcomes such as the number of patients achieving blood pressure control below 14090 mm Hg and track histories of related conditions like myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. The study also observes the use of antihypertensive medications over the period from 2018 to 2021, with ongoing data collection and analysis.
