Despite the improvement of revascularization procedures, patients with acute coronary syndrome often develop recurrent ischemic events, suggesting a high residual cardiovascular risk in these patients, which requires a strict clinical monitoring as well as an optimal control of modifiable risk factors.
To this aim, an optimal management of index event and appropriate preventive measures are equally important. Hospital care by cardiologists should be followed by outpatient management by general practitioners, as established by specific diagnostic and therapeutic pathways, which should warrant an optimal support to the patient. A strict collaboration between hospital and primary care is crucial to monitor and adapt drug therapy after the acute event and improve adherence of the patients to prescribed treatments and implementation of life-style modifications, with benefits also in term of cost-effectiveness. In this context, individualized rehabilitation programs should also be offered to patients with acute coronary syndromes, in order to improve survival and quality of life.
