Score values
Mean quality score (SD)a	2.22 (1.21)
Mean concordance score (SD)b	7.10 (3.72)
Mean symptomatic score (SD)c	5.25 (3.37)

^aRange 0–5; reflects adherence to five guideline-based indicators, with higher score signifying higher adherence

^bRange 0–20; reflects concordance of patient’s co-morbidities with post-AMI status (shared pathophysiology and management) with higher score signifying higher concordance; concordance weight for each comorbidity in Table 2

^cRange 0–20; reflects extent to which co-morbidities are symptomatic, with higher score signifying higher concordance; concordance weight for each comorbidity in Table 2
