Methods Used: This retrospective observational study examined administrative and discharge medication records for 1,699 Medicare-eligible patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of AMI from two hospitals in Washington between 20. We aim to determine if advanced age and female gender remain factors in guideline- inconsistent prescribing. However, prescribing patterns at discharge for patients hospitalized with AMI are suboptimal, with elderly and female patients historically vulnerable to guideline-inconsistent prescribing. Purpose of Study: Secondary prevention of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with guideline- recommended medications leads to improved outcomes and reduced health care costs.
