Abstract

Objective: the study aimed to analyze the prescription of recommended drugs in outpatients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) at Hanoi Heart Hospital.


Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional study on outpatients with ACS between 1 January to 31 March 2021 at Hanoi Heart Hospital.


Results: The study enrolled 154 patients. At discharge, the proportion of patients with the 4 recommended drugs was 63.0%. At 12 months after discharge, the proportion of patients using high-intensity statin decreased from 87.7% to 42.0%. ACS patients with EF ≤ 40% have a higher rate of prescribing ACEI/ARB and beta blockers.[1]


Conclusion: After 1 year, the majority of patients prescribed the recommended drug. Prescription rates of high-intensity statin need to be improved to prevent cardiovascular events.
