Background: Secondary prevention treatment with aspirin/ clopidogrel, beta blockers, inhibitors of the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone converting system and statins reduces the morbidity and mortality of patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, clinical experience suggests that prescription rates in patients hospitalized in internal medicine departments may be low.
Aim: To determine the rate of administration of secondary prevention in ACS patients hospitalized in internal medicine departments; identify predictors for full regimen use and evaluate reasons for non-prescription of the medications.
