According to AFP reports, heart attack risk and cardio-vascular complications can be reduced by 25and 15% respectively, due to a combination of new drugs aimed to beat high blood pressure. A new treatment strategy of combining the calcium channel blocker amlodipine and angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril reduced the chances of developing diabetes by a third. The northern European study of 19,342 people aged between 40 and 79 years showed the combined treatment improved significantly on traditional ones for hypertension using the beta blocker atenolol combined with the thiazide diuretic bendroflumethiazide. This study looks at a strategy rather than the individual drugs to control hypertension.
