In-hospital statin initiation characteristics and one-year statin adherence rates in patients hospitalised for acute coronary syndrome.

CONCLUSION: The present study shows that compliance with guidelines regarding statin initiation during hospitalisation and statin adherence rates during a one-year follow-up period are low for patients treated for ACS. Considering the overwhelming clinical benefits of high-intensity statins in patients with ACS, every effort should be made to increase the rate of optimal use of statins in secondary prevention.
