%X Se efectu¨® un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 210 pacientes con hipertensi¨®n arterial, pertenecientes al Policl¨ªnico "Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay" del municipio de Songo-La Maya, desde diciembre del 2009 hasta mayo del 2010, de los cuales 43 fueron ingresados en el Servicio de Cerebrovascular del Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba por haber presentado un accidente vascular encef¨¢lico. Se obtuvo que 130 integrantes de la casu¨ªstica (61,9 %) segu¨ªan tratamiento de forma irregular y que solo 72 (34,2 %) conoc¨ªan los nombres de los f¨¢rmacos que consum¨ªan. La principal causa del abandono de la terap¨¦utica regular estuvo dada por el hecho de que muchos de los afectados solo inger¨ªan los medicamentos cuando comenzaban a experimentar las manifestaciones cl¨ªnicas de la enfermedad. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 210 patients with high blood pressure, belonging to "Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay" polyclinic in Songo La Maya, from December, 2009 to May, 2010, out of which 43 were admitted in the cerebrovascular service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" teaching general hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to a stroke. The result was that 130 members of the case material (61,9%) were following treatment in an irregular way and that only 72 (34,2%) knew the names of the drugs they were taking. The main cause for quitting the regular therapy was that most of the affected patients only took the pills when they began to feel the clinical manifestations of the disease.
