Medication nonadherence following myocardial infarction (MI) is prevalent and increases the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Socioeconomic factors including medication cost, financial insecurity, and poor health literacy are associated with nonadherence. We present a patient with a history of recurrent MI who was nonadherent due to socioeconomic challenges. Our patient subsequently developed ST-elevation MI secondary to in-stent thrombosis. This case illustrates the importance of pre-discharge screening for barriers to adherence.
心肌梗死（MI）后药物治疗依从性不佳的情况很普遍，且会增加心血管事件复发的风险。包括药物成本、经济不安全和健康素养低下等在内的社会经济因素与依从性不佳有关。我们介绍一位有复发性心肌梗死病史的患者，他因社会经济挑战而未坚持服药。我们的患者随后因支架内血栓形成继发ST段抬高型心肌梗死。该病例说明了出院前筛查依从性障碍的重要性。
