Overview

Persistent gaps in risk factor control despite medication gains warrant closer monitoring in CHD; leaves open optimal strategies for goal attainment.

Structured PICO

P
Population
15,520 consecutive patients of both sexes identified after coronary-bypass grafting, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, or hospital admission with acute myocardial infarction or ischaemia in Croatia.
O
Outcome
Status of major risk factors for coronary heart disease and adherence to secondary prevention practices

Despite improvements in the use of secondary prevention medications, a large proportion of Croatian patients with established coronary heart disease do not achieve recommended risk factor goals.
