ABSTRACT

Introduction: hypertension is a disease and important risk factor for other chronic non-communicable diseases that cause vascular injury, disability and death.
Objective: identify the main causes of death in hypertensive patients who died and whose autopsy studies were kept.
Methods: a descriptive study of all hypertensive patients who died from 2006 to 2010, at "Enrique Cabrera" Hospital, in Boyeros, Habana. Data were collected and variables were analyzed such as age, sex, cause of death, pathologic diagnosis, and whether the cause of death was attributable to high blood pressure.
Results: male gender was significantly predominant (52 %), over 80 % were older than 60 years. The leading causes of death were circulatory (43.4 %), considering the etiologic classification. Most of them died from cerebral haemorrhage (51.6 %), according to strict criterion of death from hypertension.
Conclusions: cerebro-vascular complications are the leading causes of death according to strict criteria in hypertensive patients.
