This book provides a critical and comprehensive review of the methodologies available for measuring drug adherence in clinical practice, including those relying on emerging technologies. The authors discuss the risk factors of non-adherence and shed light on how to identify patients at risk of poor adherence. Drug therapies in chronic diseases rely heavily on the patient's adherence, since drugs that are not taken are ineffective and leave the patient at high risk of developing clinical complications. Given the absence of new drugs for the treatment of hypertension, drug adherence is particularly important in these patients to improve blood pressure control. The book further investigates a new aspect, namely the importance of drug adherence in clinical trials and studies and draws attention to the limits of developing drugs without significant information on drug adherence. Several chapters are dedicated to the importance of adherence in specific forms of hypertension, such as resistant hypertension, dyslipidemia and hypertension associated with cardiovascular risk. As experts confronted with drug adherence in their daily practice, the authors analyse the real effectiveness of several interventions aimed at improving drug adherence and put particular emphasis on the importance of an interdisciplinary approach involving nurses and pharmacists. The volume also includes a careful analysis of the health and economic impact of poor adherence. The book is aimed at physicians, pharmacists, students and all health professionals dealing not only with hypertension or dyslipidemia, but also with chronic asymptomatic diseases such as diabetes, HIV or chronic respiratory diseases.

Poor treatment adherence is widely recognised as the leading cause of uncontrolled chronic disease. Yet poor adherence—and particularly the non-persistence of long-term pharmacological therapies—remains largely under-recognised and underdiagnosed in everyday clinical practice. A growing body of evidence clearly demonstrates that existing approaches are insufficient and that innovative solutions are urgently needed.These solutions include not only the development of new technologies for the remote and continuous monitoring of adherence, but also a rethinking of care delivery models. Greater engagement of healthcare professionals within a coordinated, team-based care framework is essential, alongside a more active role for patients through shared decision-making and self-management strategies.This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of these emerging developments, exploring their practical application in the management of chronic diseases. While particular emphasis is placed on so‑called “silent” conditions—such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and diabetes—the discussion also extends to other long-term illnesses, including HIV, heart failure, and respiratory diseases. By integrating scientific evidence, clinical experience, and innovative care models, the book aims to offer clinicians and researchers actionable insights to improve long-term outcomes in chronic disease management.
