Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of metabolic risks for coronary death in the Asia Pacific region.
TL;DR: Specific cut-points for metabolic risk factors are not generalizable between populations and a multivariable definition of the metabolic syndrome including all risk factors as continuous variables improves CHD risk discrimination substantially.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients’ and Providers’ Perspectives of a Polypill Strategy to Improve Cardiovascular Prevention in Australian Primary Health Care A Qualitative Study Set Within a Pragmatic Randomized, Controlled Trial
Hueiming Liu,Luciana Massi,Tracey-Lea Laba,David Peiris,Tim Usherwood,Anushka Patel,Alan Cass,Anne-Marie Eades,Julie Redfern,Noel Hayman,Kirsten Howard,Jo‐anne E Brien,Stephen Jan +12 more
TL;DR: Limitations to provider acceptability of this particular polypill were revealed, as was a perception it might be more suitable for high-risk primary prevention patients, though future combinations could facilitate its use in secondary prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fixed-combination, low-dose, triple-pill antihypertensive medication versus usual care in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension in Sri Lanka: a within-trial and modelled economic evaluation of the TRIUMPH trial.

TL;DR: Compared with usual care, the triple-pill strategy is cost-effective for patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension and should be supported to address the high population burden of cardiovascular disease in Sri Lanka.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fiona Turnbull,Hisatomi Arima,Emma Heeley,Alan Cass,John Chalmers,Claire Morgan,Anushka Patel,David Peiris,Andrew Weekes,Craig S. Anderson +9 more
TL;DR: Cardiovascular risk is underrecognized and undertreated in Australian primary care patients, with women apparently disproportionately affected, and the importance of initiatives to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease in women is underscored.
Journal ArticleDOI
