Why the study?
Does a polypill-based strategy reduce systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels in a socioeconomically vulnerable minority population compared to usual care?
Does a polypill-based strategy reduce systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels in a socioeconomically vulnerable minority population compared to usual care?
A polypill-based strategy effectively lowers systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol in socioeconomically vulnerable minority populations compared to usual care.

May support polypill strategies in vulnerable minorities; leaves open confirmation via outcome trials.
A polypill-based strategy led to greater reductions in systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol level than were observed with usual care in a socioeconomically vulnerable minority population.
