Multiple Drugs for CVD Prevention
Combination Pill (Peto; 2001)
Little Red Heart Pill (Rodgers; 2002)
Polypill (Wald and Law; 2003)
Multi-Drug Therapy (WHO, Gaziano, Beaglehole; 2008-12)
Polypharmacy (Yusuf, 2012)

Rationale • An#hypertensive, lipid lowering and an#-‐platelet drugs are
proven to reduce CVD events when used in primary and secondary preven#on
• BUT their use is sub-‐op#mal globally, par#cularly in LMICs where most CVD occurs
• CVD pa#ents o@en require mul#ple drugs • Leading to decreased compliance and increased costs
• Polypill may improve compliance, reduce costs
• Non-‐physician health workers in LMICs could poten#ally screen and treat high risk people

Why will the polypill reduce cardiovascular risk by 65%?
§ Cholesterol lowering reduces risk by about 30%, blood pressure lowering by 30% and aspirin by 25%
§ It is increasingly clear that these benefits are independent of each other

What is projected about Polypill?
• Treatment of several risk factors simultaneously; regardless of level and without screening for them
• Interven#on for all at ‘increased risk’ (regardless of actual risk level) i.e. everyone > 55 years and people at any age with exis#ng cardiovascular disease, diabetes
• Es#mated poten#al to reduce CVD risk by 80%
Wald and Law, BMJ, 2003

• Potential benefits: reduction of cardiovascular
complications; quality of life; patient motivation/compliance to medication?
§ Benefits of Polypill model versus the traditional model of health screening, individual risk assessment and appropriate treatment?
Issues of Uncertainty

Polypill: Ques0ons • Lack of evidence that polypill reduces CVD events:
need for outcome trials
• Safety concerns of polypill in middle aged, low risk individuals
• Pharmaceu#cal formula#on Issues – Bioavailability – Pharmacokine#cs – Possible interac#ons – Effect on risk factors
• Composi#on of ‘ideal’ polypill

• Dose adjustment • Actual rate of side effects (on long term treatment and
adequate adherence)
• Cost effec#veness
• Registra#on of products: Criteria would be more stringent in
primary preven#on
• Evalua#on of polypill based therapy Vs. usual therapy for CVD
• Interference with lifestyle: neglect of exercise and healthy diet?

Polypill Vs Polymeal • A combined meal of seven food components (the Polymeal) could reduce cardiovascular disease by >75% as proposed by Franco et al, 2004
• Pharmacological interven#ons are not the only op#on for preven#ng heart disease; a healthy diet and an ac#ve lifestyle reduce cardiovascular disease as well
• Need Primary Preven0on Trials of Polypill (Full) Vs. Lifestyle Vs. Polypill (Par0al) + Lifestyle

Polypill for Prevention • Secondary Preven0on: Strong ra#onale; Enough evidence of mul#drug therapy on outcomes; Drug development and trials needed for evalua#ng impact on intermediate variables, adherence, safety and cost-‐effec#veness
• Primary Preven0on: Sufficient ra#onale to permit trials; Outcome based trials needed; Comparison and combina#on with lifestyle interven#ons needed

Polypill: Limitations for Prevention
• Life 0me exposure to risk not addressed – Interven0on comes late in life
• Does not reduce the risk of diabetes (while diet & physical ac0vity do)
• No inter-‐genera0onal benefits – Does not create a healthy society where the next genera0on can grow up without acquiring risk
• Even in secondary preven0on – Protec0on starts acer the event

Storm Over Statins
“The intense media coverage of the new statin policy may have shined a light on the profound cultural disconnect between our willingness to treat disease with drugs and our reluctance to institute preventive measures”
- De Ferranti S, Ludwig DS, NEJM; Sept 25, 2008
![Page 20: CVD Prevention: A Return To Virchow From The Polypill...Statins For Children! • American Academy of Paediatrics recommends statins for children as young as 8 years.

Competing Visions Do We Want: • A society where every succeeding generation
has lower risk of CVD due to an enabling social environment?
OR • A society where every succeeding generation
has a larger number of persons at high risk, acquired at even younger ages, needing multi-drug therapy for most of life?
![Page 21: CVD Prevention: A Return To Virchow From The Polypill...Statins For Children! • American Academy of Paediatrics recommends statins for children as young as 8 years.

“Do we not always find the diseases of the populace traceable to defects in society?” “ If disease is an expression of individual life under unfavourable circumstances, then epidemics must be indica@ve of mass disturbances.”
-‐ Rudolf Virchow

Rudolf Virchow [1821-‐1902]
• Analysis of an epidemic of typhus in Prussia: Put forth radically liberal ideas for that #me
• Recommended self-‐government, free and unlimited democracy, tax reform, aboli#on of feudal du#es and privileges, and a cons#tu#on of the people.
• Explained the need for progress in social medicine: “physicians are the natural a_orneys of the poor”.

THE ROSE PRINCIPLE
“Sick Individuals Arise From Sick Populations” - Geoffrey Rose
WITHIN EACH POPULATION
• The number of persons who will have undesirable levels of any risk
factor is related to the mean level of the risk factor in the population
• A shift of the whole distribution to the left would mean better health
(less ‘cases’) and a shift to the right means worse health (more
‘cases’)

Perspective
• We need to address the “causes of causes” for CVD preven0on at the popula0on level
• Polypill/ “polypharmacy” can help reduce CVD risk – In 2o preven0on and in high risk individuals requiring 1o preven0on. It is not a panacea for preven0on!

Complementary Strategies
• Create a society where social conditions help
to reduce the acquisition or augmentation of
risk over the life course.
• Use pharmacotherapy (including MDT)
judiciously to reduce CVD risk in individuals
at high risk.

“Should medicine ever fulfill its great ends, it must enter into the larger poli0cal and social life of our 0me; it must indicate the barriers which obstruct the normal comple0on of the life cycle and remove them. Should this ever come to pass, Medicine, whatever it may then be, will become the common good of all”
-‐ Rudolf Virchow
(1821-‐1902)
