Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most often cardiological problems we meet in clinical practice. The amount of optimally treated patients is low. We have described results of ACCOMPLISH Trial in the preset paper. The trial results indicate superiority of combined antihypertensive therapy amlodypine+ benazepril in cardiovascular events reduction over benazepril+hydrochlorothiazide therapy.
