EFFECTIVENESS OF COMBINED TREATMENT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION WITH DRUGS FROM THE GROUP "ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS" AND "CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS"

According to epidemiological studies, the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) among adults in developed countries ranges from 20 to 40% and increases with age [1]. High blood pressure occurs in more than 50% of men and women over the age of 60 [2]. The urgency of the problem is supported by the increasing urbanization processes of society, which create preconditions for the emergence of risk factors (RF) such as stress, physical inactivity, obesity, bad habits and disturbed ecology. High blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for the development of cerebral strokes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and other cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic origin, which are associated with more than 50% of all deaths.
