| Core Tip |
Lipid treatment practices and levels in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, which are crucial for secondary prevention. This study examined lipid treatment practices and levels in post-AMI patients at a Pakistani tertiary care hospital. Among 195 patients, only 13.8% underwent lipid profile testing post-AMI. While 88.7% received recommended statin therapy, only 11.5% achieved target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Non-compliance with statin therapy correlated with higher re-admission and subsequent AMI rates. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing lipid assessment practices to reduce the risk of recurrent events in post-AMI patients. |
