One-fifth of people discharged with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome have another ischaemic event within six months, and the risk of dying increases the second time round.
There is an established strategy for secondary prevention of ACS that includes pharmacotherapy, cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle management.

Listen to author Professor David Brieger discuss secondary prevention of ACS and adherence to therapy in the newest Pomegranate Health podcast.
