La presi\u00f3n arterial alta no se considera una enfermedad por s\u00ed sola, pero es un factor de riesgo para condiciones como infartos, insuficiencia renal, accidentes cerebrovasculares, entre otros. Por eso, es importante entender sus cifras y actuar si es necesario. Foto: Getty Images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recientemente, las pautas sobre la presi\u00f3n arterial se han actualizado, lo que ha llevado a muchas personas a revisar sus cifras. Pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 significan exactamente esos n\u00fameros? A continuaci\u00f3n, el Dr. Will Baker<\/a>, cardi\u00f3logo en las cl\u00ednicas de UCHealth Heart and Vascular Clinics en Steamboat Springs<\/a> y Craig<\/a>, nos explica lo que necesita saber.<\/p>\n

Fundamentos b\u00e1sicos sobre la presi\u00f3n arterial<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Una lectura de presi\u00f3n arterial se compone de dos n\u00fameros representados como una fracci\u00f3n. El n\u00famero superior, o presi\u00f3n sist\u00f3lica, mide la cantidad de presi\u00f3n en las arterias cuando el coraz\u00f3n se contrae. El n\u00famero inferior, o presi\u00f3n diast\u00f3lica, mide la presi\u00f3n arterial entre los latidos, cuando el coraz\u00f3n est\u00e1 en reposo.<\/p>\n

“Cuando el coraz\u00f3n late, toda esa sangre fluye y llena sus arterias”, explic\u00f3 Baker. “Es como las tuber\u00edas: si est\u00e1 bombeando m\u00e1s agua al sistema, la presi\u00f3n dentro de las tuber\u00edas aumenta. Esa es su lectura sist\u00f3lica. Cuando el coraz\u00f3n se relaja y se llena de nuevo, la presi\u00f3n disminuye y obtiene el n\u00famero m\u00e1s bajo, esa es la lectura diast\u00f3lica\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1l de los dos n\u00fameros es m\u00e1s importante?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

La respuesta es ambos. Hace a\u00f1os, los m\u00e9dicos se enfocaban m\u00e1s en el n\u00famero inferior, pero ahora se sabe que el n\u00famero superior tambi\u00e9n es igual de importante.<\/p>\n

“Ambos n\u00fameros pueden indicar presi\u00f3n arterial alta y la necesidad de tratamiento”, explic\u00f3 Baker.<\/p>\n

Una lectura normal es inferior a 120 sobre 80. Las lecturas superiores a esos valores ahora se consideran elevadas o altas. Las nuevas directrices, que se anunciaron el pasado noviembre y se basan en a\u00f1os de investigaci\u00f3n, significan que ahora m\u00e1s estadounidenses son clasificados con presi\u00f3n arterial alta.<\/p>\n

“La presi\u00f3n arterial alta no es una enfermedad en s\u00ed misma, pero es un factor de riesgo para problemas como ataques al coraz\u00f3n, insuficiencia renal, accidentes cerebrovasculares y m\u00e1s”, dijo Baker. “Las nuevas directrices no significan necesariamente que muchas m\u00e1s personas deban tomar medicaci\u00f3n. Simplemente indican que un n\u00famero muy grande de personas debe estar consciente de que tiene la presi\u00f3n elevada o alta y tomar medidas al respecto”.<\/p>\n

Tomar varias mediciones<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Una sola lectura alta no significa que tenga presi\u00f3n arterial alta, especialmente si fue tomada pocos minutos despu\u00e9s de entrar al consultorio del m\u00e9dico sinti\u00e9ndose estresado por llegar tarde.<\/p>\n

Es importante que el paciente est\u00e9 relajado y sentado tranquilamente antes de tomar la medici\u00f3n. Si la lectura es alta, se debe realizar otra para confirmar el resultado.<\/p>\n

Baker tambi\u00e9n sugiere usar un tensi\u00f3metro en casa para hacer<\/a> un seguimiento del progreso del tratamiento. Aseg\u00farese de estar relajado y sentado y tomar el promedio de dos o tres lecturas seguidas.<\/p>\n

“La presi\u00f3n arterial de cada persona var\u00eda de un d\u00eda a otro y a diferentes horas del d\u00eda”, coment\u00f3 Baker. “Lo que realmente nos interesa es ver la tendencia promedio”.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 causa la presi\u00f3n arterial alta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Desafortunadamente, no hay una respuesta simple. La presi\u00f3n arterial alta puede ser provocada por una variedad de factores, como el funcionamiento de los ri\u00f1ones, la salud de los vasos sangu\u00edneos o el equilibrio hormonal.<\/p>\n

“Es un sistema bastante complejo”, explic\u00f3 Baker. “Son muchos los factores que pueden influir en la presi\u00f3n arterial de una persona”.<\/p>\n

Esa es una de las razones por las que los medicamentos para la presi\u00f3n arterial afectan diferentes procesos, como la funci\u00f3n renal, la retenci\u00f3n de l\u00edquidos e incluso el sistema nervioso.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 puede hacer usted?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

El tratamiento var\u00eda seg\u00fan sus cifras, antecedentes familiares y otros factores, como s\u00ed ha tenido un infarto o un derrame cerebral, o si sufre de diabetes o enfermedades renales.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, todas las personas con lecturas elevadas pueden mejorar con cambios en el estilo de vida, c\u00f3mo seguir una dieta saludable, hacer ejercicio con regularidad, reducir el consumo de alcohol y dejar de fumar.<\/p>\n

“Como ocurre con todos los tratamientos relacionados con el estilo de vida, requiere un compromiso real”, explic\u00f3 Baker.<\/p>\n

Este arduo trabajo realmente da frutos, ya que los resultados generalmente se notan en dos o tres meses.<\/p>\n

“He visto a personas centrarse en su estilo de vida y en tres meses, ver una disminuci\u00f3n de entre cinco y 10 puntos”, coment\u00f3 Baker. “Puede ver resultados bastante r\u00e1pido”.<\/p>\n
