摘要

Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes are highly prevalent and poorly controlled cardiometabolic diseases in the Middle East. Therapeutic non-adherence and therapeutic inertia are major contributors to this suboptimal disease control. Regardless of the cardiometabolic disease, evidence-based solutions may be used to improve therapeutic non-adherence and overcome inertia, and thereby help to alleviate the heavy burden of cardiovascular disease in the Middle East. Such solutions include the routine and early use of single-pill combinations, educational initiatives for patients, and multidisciplinary team-based care. This article highlights these and other potential solutions for therapeutic non-adherence and inertia, as discussed at the 2024 Evidence in the Cardiometabolic Environment (EVIDENT) Summit. There is now a ‘call-to-action’ from healthcare providers and other stakeholder groups to ensure that the solutions discussed at this meeting are implemented within health systems in the Middle East to significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes.
