Hypertension is a significant health problem worldwide because of its high prevalence and association with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Identifying and treating risk factors in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events is essential and management with the most appropriate medication plays a significant role in reducing its progression. This CPD training will help us understand the rationale of the triple single pill combination based on ACE-I in managing your hypertensive patient; uncontrolled on dual therapy according to the guidelines.
At the end of the meeting, it is hoped that participants will learn:
1. The importance of guidelines in the management of hypertension
2. The importance of the TRIPLE DRUG THERAPY BASED ON ACE-I according to the guidelines.
3. Concrete clinical case study of a black hypertensive patient uncontrolled on dual therapy
