A rational combination of drug and invasive management of a patient with stable coronary artery disease can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and improve the quality of life. New technologies can significantly improve the results of treatment of these patients only if the prescribed regimens are followed. Meanwhile, adherence to cardiovascular therapy is low, and the task of its increase, in particular the regular use of antiplatelet drugs and statins, is very relevant. One of the effective methods of improving adherence is the appointment of fixed combinations of drugs.
