Secondary cardiovascular disease prevention is suboptimal after myocardial infarction. Less than 20% of patients met targets for major risk factors like cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension within 12 months.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Cardiovascular risk factor control remains inadequate in high-risk patients despite proven preventive measures.
  • International data highlight persistent challenges in managing modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the achievement of recommended therapeutic targets for major modifiable cardiovascular risk factors 12 months post-myocardial infarction (MI).
  • Assessed targets for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), diabetes mellitus (DM), arterial hypertension (HTN), and smoking cessation.

Summary:

  • 107 patients (mean age 58.8, 74.8% male) post-MI were analyzed.
  • Only 18.7% achieved all targets for LDL-C, DM, HTN, and smoking at 12 months.
  • Specific target achievements included: 71.4% smoking cessation, 61.9% blood pressure control, 46.0% HbA1c control, and 29.9% LDL-C < 0.55 g/L.

Impact:

  • Findings indicate suboptimal secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease post-MI.
  • There is a critical need for improved follow-up care and treatment strategies to optimize risk factor management after myocardial infarction.
