Combination of verapamil and trandolapril: therapeutic potential for high-risk patients with arterial hypertension
Abstract
The review is devoted to the perspectives of combined therapy with verapamil SR and trandolapril in high-risk patients with arterial hypertension (AH). The results of international clinical trials confirm effectiveness of verapamil SR and trandolapril (Tarka medication) in AH combined with coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic diabetic and non-diabetic kidney diseases.
