Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome Discharge and Long‑term Follow-up: Recommendations for Thailand

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is essential to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and readmission rates, restore quality of life and maintain or improve functional capacity, as well as to improve long-term survival. The diagnosis and acute clinical management of ACS have been addressed in the Thai ACS guidelines developed in 2020, but there is limited guidance for post-discharge and long-term management of post-ACS patients. To address this gap, eight leading cardiologists from tertiary care centres in Thailand formed a steering committee and developed evidence-based recommendations for the post-discharge management of patients following an acute ACS event. The framework for a discharge protocol for long-term management of post-ACS patients will support clinicians across Thailand to optimise the long-term care of their patients.
