Abstract

The efficacy of antihypertensive therapy is still insufficient. Treatment goals are achieved only in 1/4 of the population (26%) in Poland.


One of the ways of improving treatment efficacy is to use a combination therapy. RAS inhibitors (ACE-I and ARB) either with thiazide diuretics or calcium antagonists are one of the most preferable and efficient combinations.
