ComparativeCardio-Metabolic Studies with Telmisartan How to maximize patient benefit
Conclusions • Use of more than one agent is necessary to achieve target BP in the majority of patients. • Combination therapy is related with a higher BP reduction and CV protection • Fixed combinations of two drugs can simplify treatment schedule and improve compliance and tolerability. • A combination of two drugs should be preferred as first step treatment when initial BP is in the grade 2 or 3 range or total cardiovascular risk is high or very high • Are all the combination therapies equipotent
