Article Synopsis
- After an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), patients face a high risk of cardiovascular issues, making effective management of cholesterol levels essential.
- A study examined the effectiveness of the Managed Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction Survivors (MACAMIS) program in helping AMI patients achieve cholesterol treatment goals over a year.
- Results showed that while most patients received high-intensity statin therapy and there were improvements in combined treatment approaches, only 20.4% met the desired LDL-C targets, indicating a continued need for better lipid management.*
