The effect of changing of conventional antihypertensive therapy to a triple fixed combination therapy with rosuvastatin in high cardiovascular risk patients

Background. The low efficiency of recommended therapy for reducing cardiovascular risk (CV) in patients with arterial hypertension even with an effective blood pressure decrease is often due to the persistence of high blood cholesterol and arterial stiffness. Among the effective ways to achieve the goal of therapy is considered the changing to a single-pill combinations (SPCs) of two antihypertensive drugs and statin. Aim. To assess influence of fixed combination consisted of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin to the dynamic of lipid spectrum, blood pressure level and elastic properties of arteries in patients with arterial hypertension and high risk of cardio-vascular complications being transferred from their preceding antihypertensive therapy. Materials and methods. 113 patients with atherosclerosis of brachiocephalic arteries (BCA) receiving antihypertensive and partially taking statins therapy were assessed cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), peripheral and central blood pressure, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) initially and after 12 months of taking amlodipine + lisinopril + rosuvastatin (A+L+R) SPCs. Results. The administration ofA+L+R SPCs for 12 months was associated with an increasing of number of patients with the achieved target blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg from 68% to 100%, the target level of LDL-C <2.5 mmol/l from 7% to 88.5%, the PWV <10 m/s from 33% to 67%. In spite of the initial class antihypertensive therapy (the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers (RAAS) (n = 52), the RASS + diuretic (n = 10), the RAAS + calcium antagonist (CA) (n = 47) the administration of A+L+R SPCs led to a reduction of both central and peripheral blood pressure, as well as PWV. Conclusions: Changing of monotherapy or combined therapy of RAAS, CA, or diuretics to the therapy of A+L+R SPCs in high CV risk patients even with partially normal blood pressure allowed to achieve the target blood pressure, LDL-C level, and PWV in most patients effectively and safely.
