Combined Population- and Individual-based Interventions
World Bank (2006) recommends a set of combined population- and individual-based interventions to tackle part of the CVD burden in low- and middle-income countries (Appendix 3, Tables A3.2 and A3.3):
* Management of acute myocardial infarction with aspirin and beta-blockers
* Primary prevention of coronary artery disease with legislation substituting 2 percent of trans fat with polyunsaturated fat
* Secondary prevention of congestive heart failure with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers incremental to diuretics
* Secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke with a polypill containing aspirin,
beta-blocker, thiazide diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and statin.
