Portuguese abstract OBJETIVO Identificar se a hipertensão arterial sistêmica se apresenta como um fator de risco para o agravamento da covid-19. MÉTODOS Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo, as buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados Lilacs, PubMed, SciELO e Web of Science. RESULTADOS Foram selecionados 13 artigos. Os estudos apresentaram a hipertensão arterial sistêmica como a doença crônica mais comum em pacientes diagnosticados com covid-19. Os pacientes hipertensos eram mais velhos e os homens se apresentaram mais suscetíveis a desenvolver covid-19 grave. Pacientes hipertensos sem tratamento anti-hipertensivo foram associados a um maior risco de mortalidade. CONCLUSÕES Pacientes com doenças crônicas tendem a apresentar um perfil clínico diferente, sendo essencial controlar a pressão arterial em pacientes hipertensos e monitorá-los continuamente durante a infecção por covid-19.
English abstract OBJECTIVE Identify whether systemic arterial hypertension is a risk factor for the severe form of covid-19. METHODS This is a scoping review, searches were performed on the Lilacs, PubMed, SciELO and Web of Science databases. RESULTS Thirteen articles were selected. The studies presented systemic arterial hypertension as the most common chronic disease in subjects diagnosed with covid-19. Hypertensive subjects were older, and men were more likely to develop severe covid-19. Hypertensive subjects without antihypertensive treatment were associated with a higher risk of mortality. CONCLUSIONS subjects with chronic diseases tend to have a different clinical profile. Blood pressure should be controlled in hypertensive subjects that should be continuously monitored during the covid-19 infection.
