Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- compliance with treatment [18 months]
- changed in blood pressure [18 months]
- changes in LDL-cholesterol levels [18 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the main reason for non compliance with treatment [18 months]
- safety of poli pill measures by laboratorial tests [18 months]
