Parallel intervention of arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia - from risk identification to successful prevention
2023
Abstract
The first step in the successful prevention of atherosclerosis progression in at-risk individuals is their identification and adequate treatment to achieve the desired goals - whether we are talking about blood pressure levels or cholesterol concentrations. It has been repeatedly confirmed that the time during which a patient is exposed to risk factors also plays a very important role, which is why it is essential for GPs to pay more attention to the examination of serum lipid levels and not to hesitate to refer patients to specialised centres so that the start of therapy is not delayed.
By far the most effective is early synergistic intervention of arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia, ideally with a modern fixed drug combination.
