Adherence to secondary preventive treatment following myocardial infarction with and without obstructive coronary artery disease
The rates of initiation, implementation, and persistence of secondary preventive medications were high in both MINOCA and MI-CAD patients during the first 5 years after MI. The lower rates in patients with MINOCA may be partially due to uncertainties regarding the diagnosis of MINOCA, differences in patient characteristics, and psychosocial factors. Suboptimal medical adherence in patients with MINOCA may adversely affect prognosis as previously demonstrated in MI-CAD patients.
