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

心血管疾病是土著居民预期寿命低于非土著居民的一个主要原因。指南建议心血管疾病高危人群应同时服用稀释血液、降血压和降胆固醇的药物。实际实践与这些指导方针之间存在很大差距。我们将测试一种旨在简化治疗和降低成本的复方药片策略，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.
