pride. assessment of the efficacy, adherence and tolerability of the single pill combination bisoprolol/perindopril

Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease; Myocardial Infarction; Arterial Hypertension

Summary: this non-interventional, ambispective study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of bisoprolol and perindopril spc in previous myocardial infarction patients with htn and cad treated with the drug for 12 weeks in the daily clinical practice. spc will be used according to the approved instruction for medical use of the medicine. this is a multi-centre, observational, incomparative, ambispective study, which will retrospectively and prospectively collect clinical variables and socio-demographic data from medical records of patients with htn and previous mi initiated with bisoprolol/perindopril spc in real life settings.

this is a multi-centre, observational, incomparative, ambispective study, which will retrospectively and prospectively collect clinical variables and socio-demographic data from medical records of patients with htn and previous mi initiated with bisoprolol/perindopril spc in real life settings. baseline data will be collected retrospectively from medical records of stable cad patients with htn and a history of mi, including disease history of the patient. to be included in the study for further prospective observation a patient should have been administered bisoprolol/ perindopril spc within first three months before the index date. (fig.1). therefore, criteria for non-inclusion or inclusion of the patient in the study are to be retrospectively evaluated by the investigator using recorded clinical data available from medical records. once a physician makes decision to include a patient in the study and, in particular, on the prospective observation for 3 months, a visit to the clinic for obtaining signed patient's consent to participate in the study should be appointed and made within 1 month from the index date. retrospective screening and evaluation of patient's eligibility to inclusion/ exclusion criteria for entering the study allows mitigating a potential risk of deliberative medicine administration within the observational program. such studies are carried out in case of observational programs when the studied drug is administered in line with indications according to the instruction for its medical use. several multicenter, non-interventional, open, incomparable studies have been performed with bisoprolol/perindopril spc in patients with htn and coronary heart disease. a total of 70 general practitioners and cardiologists from primary care facilities will participate in the program. each doctor will include about 7-8 patients. in total, it is planned to include at least 500 patients.
