OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for rational use of secondary prevention drugs in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: The use of the drugs, including antithrombotic drugs (aspirin and ADP receptor antagonist), lipid-lowering drugs (statins), neuroendocrine inhibitors (ACEI or ARB and β-blocker) were analyzed with the data taken from the discharged cases with acute myocardial infarction from Jan. 2013 to Jun. 2015. RESULTS: 516 cases were enrolled. The utilization rates of aspirin, ADP receptor antagonist, statins, ACEI/ARB and β-blocker were 100%, 100%, 100%, 66.4% and 85.3%. The rates of reaching standard dose were 100%, 98.8%, 99.4%, 82.0% and 64.8%. A total of 33 cases suffered from ADR. CONCLUSIONS: The use of antithrombotic drugs and lipid-lowering drugs are rational relatively in our hospital, but there is still a certain gap between clinical practice and guideline in the use of neuroendocrine inhibitors.
