ABSTRACT
This Consenso Nacional de Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica (National
Consensus on Systemic Arterial Hypertension) brings together experiences
and joint work of 79 specialists who have been in contact with
the patient affected by systemic arterial hypertension. All concepts
here presented were outlined on the basis of the real world practice of
Mexican hypertensive population. The consensus was developed under
strict methodological guidelines. The Delphi technique was applied in
two rounds for the development of an appropriate statistical analysis of
the concepts exposed by all the specialists, who posed key questions,
later developed by the panel of experts of the Hospital de Cardiología,
and specialists from the Centro Médico Nacional. Several angles of this
illness are shown: detection, diagnosis, pathophysiology, classification,
treatment and prevention. The evidence analysis was carried out using
PRISMA method. More than 600 articles were reviewed, leaving only the
most representative in the references. This document concludes with
practical and useful recommendations for the three levels of health care
of our country.
