Abstract

Secondary prevention of coronary artery disease is highly effective and implemented on a large scale. However, studies testing adherence to recommended secondary prevention of other vascular diseases are rare. Our goal was to evaluate whether the kind of vascular disease influences prescription practice of secondary drug prophylaxis at hospital discharge and to which extent secondary prevention is actually complete.
