Abstract：Objective To investigate medication compliance and nursing in middle-aged and young patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The patients (n=126) with coronary angiography (CAG) due to coronary heart disease (CHD), angina pectoris or myocardial infarction and successful PCI were chosen from May 2010 to May 2014. The patients were followed up for 12 m after PCI, and among them 5 were missed and 121 with completed follow-up (male 102, female 19 and aged from 28 to 50). The reviewing standard of medication compliance was designed. All patients were given questionnaire for surveying drug-taking data. The symptoms including chest pain and chest distress after PCI, re-attacks of acute coronary events and revascularization during follow-up period were investigated. Results The results of medication compliance in 121 patients after PCI for 12 m showed as follows:≥15 scores in 93 cases (76.9%), and<15 scores in 28 cases (23.1%). The incidence rates of chest pain, chest distress and major adverse cardiovascular events were lower in patients with good medication compliance than those in patients with poor medication compliance (5.4%vs. 53.6%, P<0.05). Conclusion The medication compliance is good in most of middle-aged and young patients after PCI except of some patients, and they have better prognosis.
