Background Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and uncontrolled Arterial Hypertension (AH) is the most important involved risk factor. An observational study published in 2019 found differences between controlled and uncontrolled AH patients, namely less frequent chronotherapy and family history health records. We aimed to study medical designed population based interventions to reach an increase in controlled AH defining a set of growth dynamics (Δ) ≥ +5 in AH prevalence of control defined for a value of 140/90 mmHg. Methods 2019 results were presented in small medical teams weekly periodic scientific meetings and upon such awareness strategies were developed for improving AH control, according to the best practice evidence available. Data were collected, 6 months later, in a randomized representative sample of AH patients in each Primary Care Health Unit for a confidence interval 95%, error margin of 5%. Descriptive and inferential analysis, for a P &amp;lt; 0.001 and growth dynamics (Δ) were calculated. Results In a n = 148 sample there was a significant improvement in the rate of controlled hypertension (43.9% to 67.9%, P &amp;lt; 0.001, Δ = +54.0). Chronotherapy improved from 29.0% to 66.2% (P &amp;lt; 0.001), Δ = +128.3) and family medical records also improved (88.1% to 100%, Δ + 11.9). Conclusions Significant rise in the prevalence of AH control was achieved after informative and formative intervention. Chronotherapy was significantly improved, allowing a 67.9% AH control. Family medical records also significantly improved. Healthcare professional’s knowledge and reflection about their clinical activity seem to be important tools to achieve better results and hopefully health outcomes, in Arterial Hypertension.
