Promotie onderzoek

The (positive) effects of antihypertensive drugs in the cardiovascular risk management are undoubted. However, like all drugs, antihypertensive drugs also have negative side-effects. Especially the elderly, are more susceptible for these adverse effects. It's not clear whether the benefits outweight the risks. So is it possible to deprescribe antihypertensive drugs and minimise risks for adverse events, while maintining blood-pressure levels in accordance with guidelines?  

Het doel van dit implementatieproject is te evalueren welke concrete opbrengsten het combiconsult oplevert wat betreft de zorg rondom geneesmiddelen aan patiënten met CVRM, DM en COPD en welke factoren de implementatie van het combiconsult bevorderen en belemmeren.
