획기적인 심장병 치료제

 

Heart health. Imagine one pill to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and cut the risk of heart disease by 60%. From ABC News headquarters, this is World News with Charles Gibson. Some of the country’s leading heart doctors heard results today about a pill. Just one pill that could revolutionize the way heart disease is treated. This pill combines 5 commonly used medications. And new findings show it to be safe and effective. John McKenzie reports.

 

Is this the little pill that could? A so-called polypill that could dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease. Inside each, 3 common drugs lower blood pressure. 1 drug lowers cholesterol. There’s even aspirin which prevents blood clots.피엉김, 응혈 “This pill has a potential to be a blockbuster대박. It’s estimated that over 60 or even 70 million Americans would qualify for treatment with a pill like this.” “Well, the idea here is that when you see one risk factor showing up, then you can move to treat all the risk factors.”

 

After just 12 weeks, patients taking one polypill a day saw benefits across the board. Blood pressure, cholesterol, and harmful blood clotting all dropped. “The key here is that we’re using low doses of proven safe medications.” Joann Steo needs no convincing. Steo must now take the five medications separately. Preliminary임시의 최초의 estimates suggest the polypill which is not yet available could reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 62% and strokes뇌졸증 발작 by 48%. And because the drugs used in the pill are all generic일반적인, it could be done for less than a dollar a day.

 

The biggest concern about making heart disease prevention so simple is that more Americans may lose any motivation to diet and exercise which doctors say would be a big mistake. “We need to do appropriate diet and exercise in order to keep the blood vessels healthy and to not put undue burden 과도한 부담 from excess weight on the heart.” After all, a pill could only do so much.
