Article Synopsis
- The 2008 European Society of Cardiology and European Society of Hypertension guidelines recommend using single-pill combinations (SPCs) of two antihypertensive drugs as the first-line treatment for most patients with hypertension.
- The recommendation is supported by extensive data showing that SPCs help quickly achieve blood pressure targets, lower cardiovascular risks, and improve treatment adherence.
- Despite these advantages, some doctors are hesitant to adopt this new approach, and the review will explore these concerns and suggest ways to overcome them.
