  1. Why fixed-dose combinations in hypertension? • Combination therapy is needed when monotherapy does not attain blood pressure objectives and as a first-line treatment in high-risk patients. 2007 and 2009 updates of European hypertension guidelines • Advantages of a fixed-dose combination: Increased antihypertensive efficacy + lower incidence of adverse events + improved compliance • ACE inihibitor + diuretic combination is very beneficial throughout the cardiovascular continuum, as demonstrated by the perindopril/indapamide combination Barrios V, Escobar C. Integrated Blood pressure Control. 2010:3 11-19.

  2. Superior LVMI reduction with perindopril/indapamideversus enalapril Effect of the combination perindopril/indapamide (2 mg/0.625 mg up to 8 mg/2.5 mg) and enalapril (10 mg up to 40 mg/daily) on left ventricular mass index (g/m2). Data from the PICXEL study. Barrios V, Escobar C. Integrated Blood pressure Control. 2010:3 11-19.

  3. AER reduction greater with perindopril/indapamide versus enalapril Effect of the combination perindopril/indapamide (2 mg/0.625 mg up to 8 mg/2.5 mg) and enalapril (10 mg up to 40 mg/daily) on urinary albumin excretion (% of change from baseline). Data from the PREMIER study. Barrios V, Escobar C. Integrated Blood pressure Control. 2010:3 11-19.
