Abstract: Guideline recommended medical therapy (GRMT) plays a pivotal role in improving long-term outcomes and healthcare burden of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. We evaluated patients’ adherence to GRMT following AMI and the association with long-term (up-to 10 years) mortality, healthcare resource utilization and costs.
