High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 09/18/09
Costa FV et al. – Some strong messages emerged: non–adherent patients have higher blood pressure (BP) values, which lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular events; angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers) are the AHTs with the best patient adherence and persistence to treatment; better treatment adherence is observed in patients using fixed versus extemporaneous AHT combinations. Improving BP control is pivotal to reduce cardiovascular events, allowing for a better use of healthcare resources, and good adherence and persistence to treatment are essential for reaching this goal.
