- The polypill strategy aims to improve cardiovascular prevention through cost-effectiveness and simplicity, though recent trials indicate that aspirin may not provide significant benefits in high-risk groups.

- The optimal polypill strategy, which excludes aspirin, could effectively reduce the incidence of strokes and heart attacks among individuals aged 35 to 65, preventing serious cardiovascular events in a significant portion of treated patients.
