Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is the most common disease in clinical practice with the highest morbidity and mortality. Arterial hypertension is one of most frequent risk factors for IHD together with dyslipidemia. Prevention of development/progression of IHD with good treatment of cardiovascular risk factors, mostly hypertension, is a good step in improving the cardiovascular prognosis of these patients. This article discusses pathways of IHD development through hypertension, and the pathways of development in ischaemic events. It tries to show us also the best treatment possibilities in patients with hypertension and ischaemic heart disease together. The author stresses the use of betablocker and of ACE inhibitor in the treatment of these patients, and stresses the importance of adherence to the treatment, and focusses the treatment on the fixed combination in one tablet of bisoprolol-perindopril.
Keywords: ischaemic heart disease; hypertension; treatment of a patient with hypertension and ischaemic heart disease; fixed combination of bisoprolol-perindopril
