Can We Identify Minority Patients at Risk of Nonadherence to Antiplatelet Medication at the Time of Coronary Stent Placement?

CONCLUSIONS: Having multiple comorbidities, depression, suboptimal adherence to medications, and low English proficiency at the time of PCI increase the risk of poor 12-month adherence to antiplatelets among minorities. Identifying these risk factors can guide PCI therapy and the use of evidence-based strategies to improve long-term adherence. PMID: 28060084 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
