Abstract

Abstract: Hypertension is one of the chronic conditions that cause the most mortality worldwide. As a comorbid disease, it is often found in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Uncontrolled blood pressure was found to be independently associated with a higher risk for more adverse clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of blood pressure control on the severity of COVID-19 sufferers. This was a literature review study using three databases, namely PubMed, ClinicalKey, and Google Scholar according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The results obtained 10 articles. Most showed the effect of blood pressure control on the severity of COVID-19 sufferers. In conclusion, uncontrolled blood pressure in COVID-19 patients with hypertension during hospitalization has an effect on mortality.

Keywords: blood pressure control; hypertension; COVID-19
