Combined pharmacotherapy for arterial hypertension: a view through the 2013 clinical practice guidelines

Abstract

The paper considers major changes in approaches to treating arterial hypertension in the context of the 2013 clinical guidelines on hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Arterial Hypertension. Prominence is given to a differentiated approach to combined pharmacotherapy, including the use of a fixed-dose lercanidipine/enalapril combination.
