Abstract

Hypertension and dyslipidemias represent important risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases which have a high mortality rate. Although we know how to treat both, the success rate remains low. More than half of patients need at least two antihypertensive agents to achieve target blood pressure. Also, dyslipidemia frequently coexists and thus the burden of life-long pill taking is high and the adherence is low. We suggest treating both conditions simultaneously in a fixed combination. This would increase patients' adherence and compliance to therapy and therefore provide a more successful management of both conditions. - - - Hipertenzija i dislipidemije predstavljaju važne faktore rizika za nastanak kardiovaskularnih bolesti koje beleže visoku stopu mortaliteta. Iako znamo kako da lečimo obe vrste oboljenja, stopa uspešnosti lečenja još uvek ostaje niska. Kod više od polovine bolesnika neophodno je prepisati najmanje dva leka protiv povišenog krvnog pritiska kako bi se postigle njegove ciljane vrednosti. Takođe, veoma često se istovremeno javlja i dislipidemija, tako da su bolesnici opterećeni zbog doživotnog uzimanja lekova i adherenca je niska. Predlažemo da se oba stanja leče istovremeno, tačno određenom kombinacijom lekova. Ovakav režim bi povećao adherencu i komplijansu i samim tim omogućio uspešnije lečenje oba stanja.
