USATODAY.com - 3-in-1 heart pill could save millions: "BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A new three-in-one pill to treat heart disease could save millions worldwide, said experts Monday at the World Congress of Cardiology. The so-called 'polypill' would target developing countries, where rates of heart disease are climbing dramatically.
The pill would be packed with aspirin, statins and ACE inhibitors—the three drugs known to prevent recurrent heart disease. 'Potentially, millions of lives could be saved worldwide by this,' said Sidney Smith, of the World Heart Federation. 'These therapies are known to reduce mortality by up to 50% or more,' said Smith."
