Abstract
This review deals with the necessary and relevant measures for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in Russia. The latest European and American guidelines emphasize that statins are the main class of drugs to be used to improve prognosis. The use of rosuvastatin is justified among the categories of moderate and high risk of developing cardiovascular complications, especially in severe hypercholesterolemia. The use of acetylsalicylic acid is undoubtedly useful for the secondary and, which is more controversial, for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Over the last few years, major clinical studies on the prevention of cardiovascular, hemorrhagic and oncological complications enable to rely on the expediency of combined, safe use of rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid in individuals over 50 years of age with moderate and high cardiovascular risk. The use of both drugs in one tablet (the original drug Rosulip ASA®, EGIS Pharmaceuticals PLC, Hungary) will significantly increase the compliance with the vital therapy and significantly expand the use of rosuvastatin in clinical practice, which means further reduction in morbidity and mortality from atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
