Combination of Drugs Shows Promise in Preventing Cardiovascular Disease

The video discusses the impact of six drugs that lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and prevent cardiovascular disease. It highlights evidence from the British Medical Journal showing that a combination of these drugs can significantly prevent strokes and heart attacks in people over 55. While lifestyle changes are beneficial, a polypill containing these drugs could be more effective. Clinical trials indicate that the drug combination lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood platelet stickiness, with potential effects on homocysteine. Further trials will determine the best polypill formulation.
