Among participants who took the tablet as directed — at least 70 percent of the time — heart attack incidence declined by 57 percent.The combo tablet concept was first proposed more than 20 years ago as a simpler, cost-effective approach to treating cardiovascular disease, which often requires taking several medications.
About a third of patients stop taking their meds as early as 90 days after a heart attack, according to earlier research. Doctors monitored compliance with the drug regimen and then tallied the number of strokes and heart attacks across each cohort over the next five years."Drugs do not work if they are not taken," noted Amitava Banerjee, a consultant cardiologist at University College London.
