Abstract
Based on a clinical case report, the article shows the individual selection of effective therapy for a patient with arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. Taking into account the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, Equamer® was selected as a fixed combination of amlodipine + lisinopril + rosuvastatin capsules 10 mg+20 mg+10 mg (Gedeon Richter Plc, Budapest, Hungary). In the patient with hypertension, ischemic heart disease was verified, and stenting of the anterior descending artery was performed. According to the clinical guidelines, when arterial hypertension is associated with ischemic heart disease, the drug therapy of choice should be a combination of dihydropyridine slow calcium channel blockers with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. The fixed triple combination of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin is one of the most appropriate in this clinical situation; this combination targets the two major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia.
