AGENDA
• Value of Control of Hypertension
• Value of combination therapy between
Guidelines & Practice(Advantages of
Multiple-mechanism)
• Value of Single pill combination(SPC).
• Is the matter of timing between ACEIs
& ARBs!!
• Clinical data of Exforge
Hypertension in Egypt
– prevalence rate of 26.3% among adult population
(>25 years).
– Hypertension is poorly managed in Egyptians.
– low rates of awareness, treatment and control are
Only
– 8% reaching the goals
- 92% not reaching the goal.

Amlodipine/Valsartan Single-Pill Combination: A
Prospective, Observational Evaluation of
the Real-Life Safety and Effectiveness in the
Routine Treatment of Hypertension
Study purpose: To evaluate its efficacy and safety in a real-life practice setting
Target population: Patients with arterial hypertension (systolic BP >140 mmHg and/or
diastolic BP >90 mmHg). Overall, mean baseline BP was 165.0/99.3 mmHg.
After enrolment in the study, patients did not undergo any special change in dietary habits, medication,
lifestyle, or exercise schedule.(Real-Life Practice)
