[A patient with cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities: integration of indications and contra-indications in pharmacotherapy].
A patient with abdominal obesity, type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia is exposed to a high risk of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and/or renal insufficiency. The management of such a patient requires different medications, which should be prescribed by taking into account both (relative and absolute) indications and contra-indications to improve overall prognosis. The present clinical case report illustrates the therapeutic reasoning leading to an appropriate pharmacological polytherapy, combined with life-style changes.
