Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: KR receives a stipend as a specialty consulting editor for PLOS Medicine and serves on the journal's editorial board. KR served as Guest Editor on PLOS Medicine’s Special Issue on Cardiovascular Disease and Multimorbidity. MW is a consultant to Amgen on analyses of US health data. George Health Enterprises, the social enterprise arm of The George Institute for Global Health, has received investment to develop fixed-dose combination products containing aspirin, statin and blood pressure lowering drugs. George Health Enterprises has submitted patents for low-dose blood pressure combinations, on which AR is listed as one of the inventors. AR does not have a financial interest in these planned products. JC has received research grants, administered through the University of Sydney, as Principal Investigator for the ADVANCE trial and ADVANCE-ON post trial study, from the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia and from Servier and JC has also received personal fees from Servier for speaking about these studies at scientific meetings.
