Abstract
Objective:
ESC/ESH guidelines for the treatment of arterial hypertension recommend to start treatment with a single pill combination (SP) of a renin–angiotensin–system (RAS) blocker with a diuretic or a calcium channel blocker to improve drug persistence, blood pressure (BP) control and to reduce cardiovascular events. Escalation should be a SP triple combination. We aimed to assess whether the SP concept is superior to identical free combinations (FC) in terms of clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality.
