Overview
Atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Among the most important modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis are arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. Their concurrent presence can be characterized by the term “lipitension”. The presence of lipitension has a multiplicative effect on CV risk, therefore, in the case of simultaneous treatment of arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia, a significant synergistic decrease in CV risk can be expected. Ramipril as a representative of the group of ACE inhibitors and rosuvastatin are widely used for the treatment of arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. The use of a new fixed combination of ramipril and rosuvastatin (Rosuramlon) may lead to improved adherence to treatment and a more significant decrease in CV risk. Rosuramlon is suitable for patients with mild and moderate arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia and can be combined with other antihypertensive and hypolipidemic agents.
Keywords:
arterial hypertension – dyslipidemia – fixed combination – lipitension – ramipril – rosuvastatin
