Myocardial infarction: medication for MI more than 12 months ago (IND126)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (more than 12 months ago) who are currently being treated with an ACE-I (or ARB if ACE-I intolerant), aspirin (or clopidogrel, or anticoagulant drug therapy) and a statin, and a beta-blocker for those patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM80
