Revolutionary method for fighting hypertension has been discovered

Revolutionary approach to hypertension treatment: one pill instead of several reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke

As reported by TUT.AZ, the American Heart Association published a scientific statement in the authoritative journal Hypertension, which could change the approach to treating high blood pressure.

Specialists have determined that most patients with hypertension need to take two or more medications simultaneously. Combining these drugs into a single combination pill significantly increases patients' adherence to treatment, reducing instances of missed doses. Research shows impressive results: this method not only accelerates the achievement of normal blood pressure readings but also reduces the likelihood of cardiovascular complications by 15-30%.

In the statement, cardiologists clarify that combination pills contain exclusively antihypertensive agents and are not "polypills" that include statins or aspirin. Despite confirmed effectiveness, the price factor currently hinders the widespread adoption of this approach. However, experts are confident: more active implementation of combination drugs can significantly improve the condition of millions of people suffering from high blood pressure.
