RCT of Polypill Versus Usual Care Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with high cardiovascular risk

与非土著人相比，心血管疾病是土著人预期寿命较低的一个主要原因。指南建议心血管疾病高危人群应联合使用血液稀释、降血压和降胆固醇药物。实际做法与这些准则之间存在很大差距。我们将测试一种联合多药策略，旨在简化治疗并降低成本，以缩小这一差距。

Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to the lower life expectancy of Aboriginal compared to non Aboriginal people. Guidelines recommend people at high risk of cardiovascular disease shoul be on a combination of blood thinning, blood pressure lowering and cholesterol lowering medications. There is a large gap between actual practice and these guidelines. We will test a combined polypill strategy aiming to simplify treatment and reduce costs to close this gap.
