Adherence to optimal medical therapy and control of cardiovascular risk factors in patients after ST elevation myocardial infarction in Mexico

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionIn developing countries, there is a notable scarcity of real-world data on adherence to optimal medical therapy (OMT) and its correlation with major cardiovascular adverse events (MACEs) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Strategies to improve adherence to OMT and risk factor control are needed.

A cost-sensitive deep neural network-based prediction model for the mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients with hypertension on imbalanced data

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background and objectives Hypertension is one of the most serious risk factors and the leading cause of mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It is necessary to accurately predict the mortality of patients suffering from CVDs with hypertension. Methods The synopsis of our research is as follows.
