    Objective: Determine the relationship between adherence to pharmacological treatment and health-related quality of life in people with high blood pressure, treated in the outpatient cardiology clinic of the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital, Lima - 2018. Methodology: Quantitative, correlational, non-experimental study and cross section. The population was made up of 210 patients who attended the clinic in the month of May, in which instruments that included demographic variables were used: the Morisky–Green test (adherence) and the MINICHAL (quality of life). Results: Of a total of 210 patients, 20.5% were adherent, 51.4% evidenced health-related quality of life in a high range. Between the variable Adherence to pharmacological treatment and Health-related quality of life, the test obtained a significance value of 0.008 (p < 0.05), which indicates that there is a relationship. Conclusions: The greater the adherence to treatment, the better the quality of life; and as non-adherent people increase, health-related quality of life decreases.
