Objective: Determine whether knowledge about high blood pressure affects adherence to drug treatment for high blood pressure in patients diagnosed with it; in the city of Piura, during the year 2018. Methodology: The present study is of an analytical, observational, retrospective, cross-sectional type, in which the validated Morisky Green Levine test and the validated questionnaire of knowledge about arterial hypertension were applied to patients diagnosed and medicated for AHT of the external cardiology offices and internal medicine of the III Cayetano Heredia de Piura hospital during 2018. Results: The study reveals that knowledge about arterial hypertension does affect the pharmacological adherence of hypertensive patients (significance of 0.001), sex is a variable that has no statistically significant association with adherence to pharmacological treatment or the degree of knowledge about Up. In addition, 63.9% of the study participants have adequate adherence to the pharmacological treatment of their condition, 55.7% of them have adequate knowledge of the disease, while only 40.9% of the study subjects have adequate adherence and knowledge relevant of your condition simultaneously. Conclusion: Adequate knowledge of hypertension positively influences the pharmacological adherence of hypertensive patients, considering knowledge about arterial hypertension a protective factor for adherence to pharmacological treatment (OR = 2.55). In addition, the patient's sex is a variable that is not related to either the degree of knowledge about the disease, or the adherence to drug treatment. All of this deduces the importance of patient education, since HTA is a chronic disease, the best adherence results in a decrease in the incidence and / or prevalence of long-term complications, which will be reflected in the Improvement of indicators such as life years potentially lost due to illness.
