Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The online databases SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, Periódicos capes, and Sciencedirect were used for the systematic bibliographic search. This search was performed using the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): “basic care”, “arterial hypertension”, “primary health care”, “risk factors” to search for terms in the title, abstract, or body of studies. The quality of care in primary care can vary significantly between different practices, and there is evidence that many patients do not receive diagnosis and treatment according to recommended guidelines. Therefore, it is essential that primary care practices use routine data to monitor and improve the quality of care provided to hypertensive patients.
