Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:This study sought to examine the use of treatments at discharge in patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction in a French region. METHODS AND RESULTS:Data from 2,102 patients discharged after myocardial infarction were prospectively collected at 48 university, community, and private hospitals in three departments in the Rh ne-Alpes region between September 1, 1993 and January 31, 1995. Beta-blockers were prescribed in 59% of the patients, calcium channel blockers in 22%, nitrates in 59%, antiplatelet agents in 82%, anticoagulants in 26%, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in 36%, diuretics in 33%. Beta-blockers were prescribed less often in older patients, and in patients with higher Killip classes or a history of pulmonary disease. Calcium channel blockers were prescribed more often in older patients, and in patients with a history of diabetes, pulmonary disease, or non-Q wave myocardial infarction. Nitrates were prescribed more often in older patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were prescribed more often in patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension, or anterior myocardial infarction, and less often in patients with a history of renal failure. Diuretics were prescribed more often in older patients, and in patients with a history of renal failure, diabetes, hypertension, or higher Killip classes. CONCLUSIONS:There is still underuse of beneficial treatments, particularly in elderly patients.
