title: [Combined antihypertensive and antilipemic therapy as one of the pillars in the poly-pharmacologic preventive strategy for patients with high cardiovascular risk].
abstract: Hypertension is a highly prevalent disease and a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease in industrialized countries in Europe and North America. About 40-50% of hypertensive patients have some other cardiovascular risk factors as smoking, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The realization of optimal therapy of these patients is a difficult task, and reaching target blood pressure values is almost impossible by monotherapy. It was realized that the simultaneous normalization of blood pressure and that of abnormal lipid profile with 2-3 or more drugs have great importance for preventing atherosclerotic complications.We started an open-formed study with about 1000 hypertensive patients complicated with dyslipidemia, visceral obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes type 2. The base of our therapeutic strategy was a typical poly-pharmacologic treatment with ACE inhibitor (lisinopril), calcium antagonist (amlodipine), statin (atorvastatin) and antiplatelet therapy (if it was necessary).
