© 2018 Cardiovascular Therapy and Prevention. Modern appropriate treatment of hypertension involves the use of combination antihypertensive therapy. According to updated version of European Society of Cardiology 2018 guidelines, renin-angiotensinaldosterone system blockers must be used as first-line drugs, including in combination with hydrochlorothiazide. This article presents the algorithms for the management of patients with uncomplicated and asymptomatic (with target lesions) arterial hypertension. It also described the management of patients with concomitant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, renal pathology and diabetes mellitus, and use of fixed combination of candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. The article presents research data that confirmed not only the high antihypertensive efficacy of this combination, but also demonstrated its neutral metabolic profile, organ-protective effects, the ability to use in patients with chronic kidney disease, chronic heart failure, prior stroke, as well as high tolerability and treatment adherence.
