Abstract
The paper focuses on the important issue of cardio-cerebral interactions, cardiac comorbidities, and the need for complex therapeutic approaches. While stroke is traditionally regarded as a neurologic problem, cardiologists play an important role in its prevention, via modification of multiple risk factors. One of the key preventive measures is arterial hypertension treatment. New calcium channel blockers are a promising group of modern antihypertensive medications.

Abstract
The paper discusses the importance of high treatment compliance in the case of long-term or life-long therapy. This problem can be resolved by the use of combination pharmacological treatment, such as the combination of a calcium channel blocker and an ACE inhibitor. Apart from the higher treatment compliance, this combination provides additional metabolic benefits, due to the beneficial metabolic effects of its components.
