Epidemiological Observational Study on the Assessment of the Comorbidity and the Efficacy of the Treatment of Hypertensive Patients with Single Pill Combination of Lysinopril, Amlodipine and Rosuvastatin "PHENOTYPE-AG"

Abstract

Aim. To study the prevalence of comorbidity affecting the choice of antihypertensive treatment, as well as the efficacy and safety of the application of a single pill combination of lysinopril, amlodipine and rosuvastatin (SPC LAR) in hypertensive patients.Material and methods. Observational epidemiological study with the participation of 626 doctors and 13037 hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk and dyslipidemia treated with SPC LAR were held in 24 cities of Russia from November 2020 to March 2021. Prevalence and types of comorbidity, changes of blood pressure (BP), of total cholesterol (TC) and blood glucose levels and adverse events were studied during observation. Patients had 3 visits – initially, after 4 and 12 weeks. The obtained data was recorded by doctors through a web portal.Results. Concominant cardiovascular diseases found in all patients (in 38.7% of cases – from 2 to 5 diseases). The most commonly diseases were coronary artery disease (43.1%), metabolic syndrome (36.6%), diabetes (25.2%), chronic heart failure (24.9%), cerebrovascular diseases (12.3%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (0.5%). SPC LAR with minimal doses of components (in 41.1% of patients) or with reinforced antihypertensive or hypocholesterolemic effects, based on the experience of treatment, the patient was prescribed as starting treatment with doctors. Reducing the level of systolic and diastolic BP, as well as the level Tc, respectively, by 20.9%, 16.9% and 29.7% found during the study. Target levels of systolic BP were achieved in 97.6% of patients, diastolic BP – in 99.6%, and target levels TC ≤5 mmol/l, ≤4 mmol/l and ≤3 mmol/l were achieved, respectively, in 94.5%, 68.6% and 23.5% patients. No significant dynamics of the level of glycemia were not found. The treatment was well tolerated by patients. Side effects found in 0.53% of patients (more often there was a dry cough, feet edema and headache). Commitment to treatment was 92.7%.Conclusion. The modern hypertension phenotype has cardiovascular atherosclerosis-associated diseases, which justifies the need to combine antihypertensive and hypolipidemic therapy. Triple SPC LAR, which effectively controlled the blood pressure and improved the violation of lipid metabolism was prescribed to patients in this observational study. The low frequency of side effects and good tolerance of treatment was accompanied by a high adherence of patients to treatment.
