Modern aspects of the treatment of patients with arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world, with hypertensive patients at a particularly high risk. High blood pressure (BP) in patients is known to be one of the most important factors in cardiovascular risk that is being modified. Achieving optimal blood pressure levels in this patient population leads to a reduction in the risk of adverse events, but excessive blood pressure lowering may lead to a decrease in myocardial and cerebral perfusion; there is a J-curve relationship between exacerbations of CHD. The article analyzes data from studies of patients with coronary artery disease and hypertension, depending on the different target levels of blood pressure reduction in the light of new recommendations with drug therapy.
