Statin treatment after acute coronary syndrome: Adherence and reasons for non-adherence in a randomized controlled intervention trial

Abstract Studies of secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease show low fulfilment of guideline-recommended targets. This study explored whether nurse-led follow-up could increase adherence to statins over time and reasons for discontinuation. All patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome a...
