Trends in prescribing optimal medical therapy at discharge following percutaneous coronary intervention in a tertiary care hospital in the UAE

The rate of OMT prescriptions at discharge was comparable to international studies, though suboptimal. Diabetes and hypertension were positive predictors, while advanced age, and acute heart failure were negative predictors of OMT prescription. Multicenter studies with larger sample size would be needed to get more details. These findings suggest a need for targeted interventions to improve adherence to guideline-directed therapy. Future multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate these observations.
