“…5 The OLAS Study extends the previous experience from large trials to intermediate end points of cardiovascular risk. However, we additionally feel that the OLAS Study confirms with clarity the 'hypertension paradox', 6 and clinical efforts should point out to reverse that phenomenon by aggressively implementing lifestyle interventions at the first line of management of high-cardiovascular-risk patients, as suggested by the guidelines. 7 In conclusion, in the OLAS Study, amlodipine/ olmesartan combination did not change the overall cardiovascular risk of hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome, simply because lifestyle interventions were completely ignored, and thus the questioned anti-hypertensive combination scored a 'pyrrhic victory'.…”

“…Согласно результатам рандомизированных исследований, выполненных у лиц с эссенциальной артериальной гипертензией в возрасте 65 лет и стар-ше, антигипертензивная терапия приводит к выра-женному снижению сердечно-сосудистой заболевае-мости и смертности [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. В то же время, как пока-зал целый ряд эпидемиологических исследований [11][12][13][14], охват антигипертензивной терапией и конт-роль артериального давления у пациентов с гипер-тензией остается неадекватным, в особенности у пожилых больных.У большинства пожилых пациентов имеет место сочетание нескольких факторов сердечно-сосудисто-го риска, поражения органов-мишеней и ассоцииро-ванных клинических состояний. Следо вательно, у этой категории больных антигипертензивная тера-пия должна быть не только эффективной, но и хоро-шо переносимой [15].…”

“…Diuretics, b-blockers, ACEI and other classes have similar effects on BP, although there are differences between patients (35) . In most patients, two or more antihypertensive medications are needed to achieve the control of BP (9) . However, studies have suggested that 'medical inertia', that is, a failure to start or enhance medication when it is necessary to do so, may contribute to poor BP control (36,37) .…”
