Abstract

On January 28, 2020, the number of confirmed cases of SARS-Cov-2 in the world exceeded 600,000 and the number of deaths exceeded the 27,000,000 mark. The lethality rate of this virus in patients without any comorbidity is only 1.4% while it reaches 8.4% in hypertensive patients, according to research carried out by the WHO in China, a reality that urges research on the action of the virus in patients with systemic arterial hypertension. In addition, patients with cardiovascular diseases are the main population in a state of severe infection, comprising 23.4% of those infected with the need for a mechanical respirator. In addition, studies in progress around the world point to a possible association between the poor prognosis in hypertensive patients contaminated by COVID-19 and the previous use of ACEI and BRAS.
