Abstract
Objective: To analyze the impacts of the COVID-19 on the treatment of systemic arterial hypertension. Bibliographic review: The direct impacts of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system include the worsening of hypertension and associated complications. Social isolation reduced treatment adherence, increased stress, and altered lifestyle habits, such as diet and exercise, contributing to poor blood pressure control. Additionally, access to healthcare services was compromised, especially for socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, exacerbating health disparities. Telemedicine emerged as a viable solution, but its implementation was uneven. The incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) increased significantly in 2020, with quarantine associated with greater gestational weight gain, obesity rates, elevated blood pressure, and uric acid levels. Final considerations: Intervention strategies in Primary Health Care, such as remote education and social support, are essential to address the challenges of the pandemic and promote better health outcomes for patients with hypertension.
