Modifiable risk factor goals. Patients with myocardial infarction were randomized and analyzed into two groups. the intervention group (n = 106) and control group (n = 102). The percentage of patients with optimal blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) control and all risk factors with optimal control were assessed at baseline, 1 year and 2 years post discharge. (A) There were no significant differences between the groups in optimal blood pressure (BP) control (< 140/90 mmHg) at any time point. (B) The intervention group had a higher rate of reaching the recommended target for LDL-C (< 70 mg/dL) than the control group at 1 year and 2 years post discharge. (C) The intervention group had a higher rate of reaching the recommended target for glycemic control (HbA1c < 7.0%) than the control group at 1 year and 2 years post discharge. (D) All risk factors were defined as blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin. The rate of all modified risk factors (MRFs) with optimal control (BP control (< 140/90 mmHg), LDL-C (< 70 mg/dL) and HbA1c < 7.0%) were similar between the intervention and control group at baseline. However, the intervention group had a higher all MRFs with optimal control rate than the control group at 1 year and 2 years post discharge. * Indicated p < 0.05.
