4 key parameters for success in hypertensive patients

Cardiovascular disease persists as the leading cause of death and disability in the world without major changes for 20 years. Fundamentally, this is because risk factors are underdiagnosed.

Failures in the diagnosis of hypertension, medical and patient education, the choice of the appropriate treatment and its maintenance are the four fundamental pillars that explain the failure to control hypertension as a risk factor and the way to solve it.

Among the most appropriate strategies for a multifactorial disease such as hypertension, all the guidelines indicate combined therapy and if it is the same tablet, the better.

The use of effective fixed associations has been shown to be clearly advantageous along the cardiovascular continuum, which reinforces their use in the early stages (diagnosis) and intensively to ensure success in hypertension.
