Abstract

Introduction:

Hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular comorbidity in patients infected by COVID-19. Objective: To describe hypertension mechanisms, with the critical status of the viral infection by SARS-CoV-2.

Methods:

The selected data Bases were: PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scielo and Google Scholar. An independent revision was carried out and 50 references were proposed. There were no restrictions about the type of paper, in Spanish and English. 44 references were selected of the initial proposal, by simple majority.

Conclusions:

That hypertension increases the risk of admission and death by COVID-19. It has been explained the disease and infection by SARS-CoV-2 that coexist with hypertension.  The role of the enzyme converter of angiotensin 2, the disorders of the system renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, the immune dysfunction with excessive inflammation and the gastrointestinal dysfunction have been distinguished.
