Abstract
COVID-19 is one of the most relevant pathologies
in recent months, becoming one of the most deadly pandemics that the world has
faced; Since the detection of the first cases in Wuhan (China) until today, the
evolution of those infected has been a bit unpredictable, although without a
doubt comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Arterial Hypertension (HTN)
have been an essential link in fatality of clinical evolutions and the main
cause of transfer to intensive care units. A bibliographic analysis was carried
out, using the Scielo, Scopus, EBSCO and Google Academic databases, where
information was obtained from twenty-two bibliographic references in order to
determine the influence of arterial hypertension and diabetes as risk factors
in the evolution of patients with covid 19. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19
who have hypertension and diabetes as a personal medical history are more
likely to develop complications during the course of the disease and even die.
The control and isolation of these patients is of special importance, taking
into account the risk posed by presenting these pathologies. The research work
carried out in Cuba maintains the control and knowledge of the health personnel
of the state of vulnerable patients.
