Key result

Improving the implementation of fixed dose combination therapy for cardiovascular disease requires country-specific health systems analyses to design appropriate strategies.

Why the study?

Despite clinical evidence of its effectiveness in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, uptake of fixed dose combination therapy has been poor.

Population
Patients requiring secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease
I
Intervention
Fixed dose combination therapy (FDCs)

Improving the poor uptake of fixed-dose combination therapies for CVD requires country-specific health systems analyses and strategies addressing availability, accessibility, affordability, and adherence.

Cite This Study

Webster et al. (2020) studied Cardiovascular disease. Fixed dose combination therapy (FDCs) was evaluated. Improving the implementation of fixed dose combination therapy for cardiovascular disease requires country-specific health systems analyses to design appropriate strategies.
