Polypill Multiple heart drugs in one pill
Would you take a drug for high blood pressure if you had normal blood pressure? If your cholesterol levels were completely normal, would you be open to the idea of taking a cholesterol-lowering statin drug?
If you think the answers to both of those questions are glaringly obvious, then you're obviously not one of the health 'experts' associated with the World Heart Federation (WHF).
According to a recent Associated Press (AP) article, the WHF kicked off a promotional initiative that will eventually launch the polypill, a nickname given to a 3-in-1 heart disease medication that apparently hasn't yet been given a real name.
I first told you about this 'wonder drug' more than three years ago. The polypill combines a statin drug, an ACE inhibitor (for lowering blood pressure), and aspirin.
The original idea, as conceived by two professors at the University of London, was that everyone over the age of 55 should be advised to take a daily polypill for the rest of their lives. Between then and now, it appears that someone convinced them to drop that wildly overreaching world domination master plan. When WHF representatives officially introduced the concept of the polypill at the recent World Congress of Cardiology, the strategy was a little more realistic: It will be recommended only for people with a known history of heart disease.
