Therapeutic Options for the Single Pill Combination of Lisinopril, Amlodipine and Rosuvastatin: a Systematic Review

Aim. To evaluate the effect of taking a single pill combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin on blood pressure (BP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hypertensive patients with or without severe hypercholesterolemia.Material and methods. Articles published in Russian were selected for analysis. Six articles that met the criteria for inclusion in a systematic review were found by searching the eLibrary database for the keyword "equamer". The results of 5 observational clinical studies were presented in these articles. The effectiveness of the fixed combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin was assessed mainly by changes in the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the concentration of LDL cholesterol. In addition, the effects of fixed-dose amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin on central aortic pressure and its increment index, as well as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, were studied in part of the studies. The effect of the fixed combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin on blood pressure and LDL-C concentration, as well as on these additional indicators, in patients who had a coronavirus infection with severe lung damage was studied in one study.Results. Evidence from a systematic review demonstrates the efficacy of single pill combination amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin in reducing blood pressure and LDL-C in a wide range of patients with different baseline risk of developing cardiovascular complications and different baseline levels of blood pressure and LDL-C.Conclusion. The data obtained confirm the feasibility of more frequent prescription of the single pill combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin in clinical practice for the treatment of hypertensive patients with high or moderate risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including patients with concomitant hypercholesterolemia

Современные подходы к выбору лекарственной формы ацетилсалициловой кислоты в кардиологии

The article is devoted to modern approaches to the selection of optimal dosage forms of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which ensure high bioavailability of ASA drugs. The relevance of improving the tactics of ASA use for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases is discussed. Changes in the role of ASA in the prevention of cardiovascular disease complications are discussed, including as part of combined antithrombotic therapy, including ASA and either P2Y12 inhibitor or low-dose rivaroxaban. Evidence is presented that has led to doubts about the sufficient bioavailability of the enteric form of ASA, as well as the predictability of the response to therapy. A separate part of the article is devoted to the safety of different forms of ASA, in particular - the effect on the mucosa of the small intestine. The results of clinical studies evaluating the effect of ASA intake in enteric-soluble and buffered forms on the small intestinal mucosa and the risk of bleeding are presented. In addition, the problem of decreased effectiveness of ASA intake in overweight or obese individuals is considered. The article provides information on ongoing randomized trials to assess the effectiveness of increasing the frequency of ASA intake, as well as the effectiveness of chronopharmacological approaches to optimize the use of ASA. The analysis performed leads it to conclude that the buffer form can now be considered the preferred acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) dosage form, which, on the one hand, exerts a less pronounced effect on the gastric and small intestinal mucosa, and on the other hand, ensures high bioavailability, as well as minimal variability of treatment response.Статья посвящена современным подходам к выбору оптимальных лекарственных форм ацетилсалициловой кислоты (АСК), которые обеспечивают высокую биодоступность препаратов АСК. Рассматривается актуальность усовершенствования тактики применения АСК с целью как первичной, так и вторичной профилактики развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Обсуждается изменение роли АСК в профилактике развития осложнений сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, в т. ч. в составе комбинированной антитромботической терапии, включающей АСК, а также либо ингибитор P2Y12, либо низкую дозу ривароксабана. Приводятся доказанные данные, которые стали основанием для сомнений в достаточной биодоступности кишечнорастворимой формы АСК, а также в предсказуемости ответной реакции на терапию. Отдельная часть статьи посвящена вопросам безопасности разных форм АСК, в частности – влиянию на слизистую оболочку тонкого кишечника. Приводятся результаты клинических исследований, в ходе выполнения которых оценивали влияние приема АСК в кишечнорастворимой и буферной форме на слизистую оболочку тонкого кишечника, а также риск развития кровотечений. Кроме того, рассматривается проблема снижения эффективности приема АСК у лиц с избыточной массой тела или ожирением. В статье предоставляется информация о продолжающихся рандомизированных исследованиях по оценке эффективности увеличения кратности приема АСК, а также по эффективности хронофармакологических подходов к оптимизации применения АСК. На основании выполненного анализа делается вывод о том, что в настоящее время предпочтительной лекарственной формой АСК можно считать буферную форму, которая, с одной стороны, обеспечивает менее выраженное влияние на слизистую оболочку желудка и тонкого кишечника, а с другой – обеспечивает высокую биодоступность, а также минимальную вариабельность ответной реакции на лечение

New Clinical Aspects of Eplerenone Use in Clinical Practice

The problem of the discrepancy between convincing evidences of the effectiveness of the use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and insufficiently frequent their use in clinical practice for the treatment of these patients is considered in the article. Experts opinions on the reasons for this discrepancy are also presented. New data on the effectiveness of the use of the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, eplerenone, in some clinical situations identified in the analysis of subgroups of participants in a large randomized clinical trial EMPHASIS-HF are discussed. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of eplerenone compared with placebo in patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular function. In addition, experimental animal studies, which may indicate the pleiotropic effects of eplerenone in patients with vascular diseases, are presented. The new data on the effectiveness of eplerenone in subgroups of patients with heart failure and certain characteristics may be an additional reason to draw the attention of physicians to the benefits of its use and, accordingly, its more frequent application in clinical practice for the treatment of patients with clear indications for this therapy

Vascular age concept: role in assessing risk and choosing therapy

The article discusses the vascular age concept and modern approaches to assessing vascular age. It describes modern methods for measuring arterial stiffness (applanation tonometry or ultrasonic Doppler examination) as the most frequently used index of vascular age. The authors discuss the role of antihypertensive therapy and statins in preventing early vascular aging, and the relationship between the role of achieving lower blood pressure levels and the choice of certain antihypertensive agents to reduce arterial stiffness and ensure optimal vascular age. Increased arterial stiffness has been reported to be a marker of risk for developing severe complications of cardiovascular diseases, in particular, a meta-analysis showed that after taking into account the known risk factors for developing cardiovascular complications, higher carotid stiffness was associated with an increased risk of stroke. It is stated that in addition to biological age, vascular age may increase due to the cumulative effect of such risk factors as high blood pressure, impaired glucose homeostasis, obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Modern approaches to the preservation and maintenance of vascular age are discussed. The key role of achieving lower blood pressure levels is considered. It is emphasized that the role of combination drugs in preventing complications of cardiovascular diseases is strengthened, and approaches to choosing the optimal components of such combination drugs are also considered. The relationship between increased arterial stiffness and the development of cognitive disorders is discussed. The article describes the role of statins and effectiveness of the concomitant use of statins and combination antihypertensive therapy in reducing the pulse wave velocity
