Combined antihypertensive medications

Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most prevalent diseases. Despite impressive progress in studying AH pathogenesis, treatment results should still be improved. It is mostly explained by poor therapy compliance in patients taking antihypertensive agents (AHA). At present, combined treatment is a priority in AH management. Fixed‑dose AHA combination use is a promising approach. The authors analyze the studies on effectiveness of combined AHA, most prevalent in Russia.
