May support specialized post-MI clinics for high retention; leaves open outcome benefits and generalizability.
A specialized post-MI clinic in Sweden achieved a very low 2-year dropout rate of 3%, demonstrating the feasibility of standardized ambulatory posthospital care.
Elmfeldt et al. (1975) studied Myocardial infarction. Specialized postmyocardial infarction clinic care was evaluated on Cumulative drop-out rate. A specialized postmyocardial infarction clinic in Göteborg providing standardized ambulatory care for patients under 67 achieved a cumulative drop-out rate of only 3% over 2 years of follow-up.
