A new heart association guideline recommends a single pill with two blood pressure drugs for stage 2 hypertension to improve control and reduce heart risks.
A new American Heart Association statement recommends starting treatment with a single pill combining two blood pressure medications for adults with stage 2 hypertension, as this approach can lower blood pressure more effectively and quickly than separate pills.
The strategy aims to improve adherence and reduce risks of heart attack and stroke, especially given that less than half of the 122 million U.S. adults with high blood pressure reach treatment targets.
The statement emphasizes the benefits of simplified regimens using common drugs like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers, or diuretics, though it notes the need for more research on long-term outcomes and implementation.
