Key Drawbacks of Secondary Ischemic Heart Disease Prevention With Drug Therapy: the Role of Combination Fixed Dose Preparations in Solution of This Problem

Abstract

In this article we deal with the problem of low adherence of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) to drug therapy congruent to current recommendations including patients who underwent invasive interventions aimed at myocardial revascularization. Based on analysis of literature, we undertake an attempt to answer the question: which of components of this therapy patients with IHD are the least likely to continue taking? We also discuss approaches to the search for optimal composition of a combination preparation with fixed doses of an adreno-blocker and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Based on analysis of literature we undertook an attempt to answer a question: which of components of this therapy patients with IHD are least likely to continue taking. We also included in this article discussion of approaches to the search of optimal composition of a combination preparation containing fixed doses of a в-adrenoblocker and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, as well as data on the role in the treatment of patients with IHD of bisoprolol and perindopril. Fixed doses of these agents have been included into a novel combination preparation.
