TL;DR: In this paper, patients discharged after myocardial infarction were randomly assigned their insurance-plan sponsors to full prescription coverage (1494 plan sponsors with 2845 patients) or usual prescription coverage for all statins, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, or angiotENSin-receptor blockers.

TL;DR: Its electrophysiological characteristics resemble those previously described in hypertrophied rat LVMs and suggest that I(f) could be an arrhythmogenic mechanism in patients with severe heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Achieving high levels of adherence to each and all guideline-recommended post-myocardial infarction secondary prevention medication is associated with improved event-free survival, and lower levels of adhere appear less protective.
