Arterial Hypertension (AH) is an alteration to the cardiovascular system that presents a multifactorial genesis and an uncertain and complex physiopathology, characterized by a sustained Blood Pressure (BP) increase [1,2]. The diseases is presently established as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, including cerebrovascular accident, coronary artery disease, systemic atherosclerosis in other organs, arteriosclerosis, heart failure and chronic renal disease [3]. Hypertension is also an important modifiable risk factor for Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) [4], responsible for 17 million deaths worldwide [5], a high frequency of hospitalizations, early retirement and absenteeism, evidencing an important socioeconomic cost [6,7].
