The study population was prescribed evidence-based cardiovascular medication for the post-MI period.

However, patients with SMI were as likely to undergo coronary revascularization and be prescribed evidence-based medications at hospital discharge, and were not at elevated risk of adverse 1-year outcomes compared to patients without SMI.
Studies of nurse prescribing to date have drawn prescribing evidence at single points in time or from aggregated data [ 12, 13, 35, 36], often in relation to programmes targeted at specific patient populations [ 5, 37] or particular types of medicines such as analgesics or antidepressants [ 38, 39].

Our data from a clinical practice setting suggest that the presence of the heart failure comorbidity diabetes restrains doctors from prescribing evidence-based therapy in heart failure patients - possibly in fear of side-effects, although these side-effects can be easily monitored by simple blood tests.
