Abstract: SELF-KNOWLEDGE, ADHERENCE TO TREATMENT, AND CONTROL OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN PERU: A NARRATIVE REVIEW ABSTRACTThis non-systematic bibliographic review examines the published Peruvian medical literature on arterial hypertension (HTN) as of December 2016. The results were divided into three thematic areas: self-knowledge, adherence to treatment, and control. We identified 197 articles, although only 15 were used for the analysis.

“…Although the number of Peruvians reporting a chronic disease has increased at national level , our study is based on diagnoses made in MINSA health centres; and not everyone with a chronic health condition did seek health care ; thus, the prevalence of HT is possibly underestimated.

For this reason, this research is not only focused on identifying the status of patients entering cardiology offices, but also on the scientific contribution, because its use is also expected to promote the use of this instrument for the early recruitment of patients, both by health personnel and residents through self-evaluation, because due to its easy access and simplicity it can mean a great advance for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, in a country where, as declared in [13], self-knowledge, adherence or control of hypertension are still below to other Latin American countries.…”
