Prevalence and association of medication nonadherence with major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction
Current study was to evaluate the prevalence of guideline recommended medications adherence in myocardial infarction (MI) patients postpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the association of medication nonadherence and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). MI patients who underwent PCI in the last 12 months were enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected and guideline recommended medications were evaluated. Patients were divided into with and without MACEs groups. Compared to patients without MACEs, those with MACEs were older (54.8 ± 16.4 vs 51.1 ± 15.2 years), more likely...

CONCLUSIONS    Outpatients with SCAD managed by cardiologists had a lower rate of cardiovascular outcomes than those managed by non-cardiologists. We did not find clear evidence that cardiologists provided superior guideline-based treatment, so the differences in outcome were most likely due to unquantifiable differences in patient characteristics.
