Abstract
We have read with great interest the article published by Tapia-Orihuela [1], in which it is stated that hypertension is one of the most frequent comorbidities observed in severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and deaths. In favor of what the author mentioned, COVID-19 has become a pandemic in recent months due to its high transmissibility and mortality. These characteristics cause healthcare systems to collapse, and COVID-19 is not optimally controlled. For this reason, for some months, several investigations have served to understand the behavior of COVID-19 and its risk factors, with hypertension being one of the most studied [2].
