ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the compliance of secondary prevention and the relationship with the long-term outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods 589 patients undergoing PCI were followed-up,and factors including major adverse cardiac events(MACE)),smoking status and the usage of antiplatelet agents,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI)/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker(ARB),statins,beta blocker,calcium channel blocker and nitrates were recorded.Results The average follow-up time was 18.92 months.At discharge,588 patients(99.83%)were prescribed clopidogrel for(7.89±4.96)months;there were 31 patients(5.26%)who completely discontinued antiplatelet therapy during follow-up.At discharge,the prescription rate of aspirin,ACEI/ARB,beta blocker,statins,calcium channel blocker and nitrates was 98.98%,41.94%,63.50%,83.02%,19.69%and 46.52%respectively,whereas at follow-up,these were decreased to 94.4%,35.99%,55.86%,65.89%,17.49%and 35.31%.At follow-up,there were still 105 current smokers(17.83%).Complete cessation of antiplatelet therapy and current smoking were related to the increased risk of non-fatal myocardial infarct(9.68%v.s.1.08%,P＜0.01);smoking(4.76%v.s.0.83%,P＜0.01)andMACE(19.35%v.s.6.45%,P＜0.01);smoking(11.43%v.s.6.20%,P＜0.05).Conclusion Most patients can adhere to secondary prevention during follow-up,however,the compliance with secondary prevention should be improved further.Cessation of antiplatelet therapy and current smoking contribute to poor prognosis.
