Adherence to Triple-Free-Drug Combination Therapies among Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Combination therapies are often needed to modify the concomitant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Non-adherence to cardiovascular medications is a relevant concern, especially in polytherapy. We conducted a population-based, cohort study with the aim of quantifying the level of non-adherence and its related determinants in patients exposed to free three-drug combination therapies, namely concurrent use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and statins or of ACEi, statins, and low-dose aspirin.
