Summary

Parallel occurrence of high blood pressure and high plasma cholesterol level is very frequent, in our population in 30 %, and brings multiplicative higher risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand the contemporary treatment of them reduces that risk synergically. New fixed combination pill of rosuvastatin and ramipril (Kastel) is very felicitous choice for patients with hypercholesterolemia and mild hypertension, in which two antihypertensive drugs are not required immediatelly.

Keywords:

hypertension and hypercholesterolemia treatment – cardiovascular diasease prevention – the fixed combination of ramipril and rosuvastatin
