Advances of the contemporary treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia by a new fixed combination.

ABSTRACT

Parallel occurrence of high blood pressure and high plasma cholesterol level is very frequent, in our population in 30 %, and brings multiplicative higher risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand the contemporary treatment of them reduces that risk synergically. New fixed combination pill of rosuvastatin and ramipril (Kastel) is very felicitous choice for patients with hypercholesterolemia and mild hypertension, in which two antihypertensive drugs are not required immediatelly.
