Do combination therapies given in fixed-doses polypills with aspirin reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease events?
This study investigated whether a combination pill given in fixed doses with or without aspirin can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease events in patients without a previous history of cardiovascular disease. The data showed that a fixed-dose combination treatment strategy with aspirin significantly reduced the risks of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, stroke, and cardiovascular death in these patients.

Is the ECG useful in predicting outcome of heart disease?
This study aimed to determine whether the QRS duration from an ECG could be used to predict long term outcomes in patients with heart disease. The authors concluded that a QRS duration of 120ms or more was capable of predicting the risk of a heart attack and also the risk of death from heart-related causes.
