Patients with comorbid coronary artery disease and hypertension: a cross-sectional study with data from the NHANES

Abstract

The recent prevalence of patients with comorbid CAD and HTN increased than 20 years ago, mainly caused by more morbid middle-young population. For another, the control of blood pressure (BP) and lipids were favorably affected by increased use of statins, ACEIs/ARBs and β-blockers in these patients. Nevertheless, there is still much room for strengthening medication utilization and intervention of risk factors in future.
