Background: Coronary artery disease is among the first causes of death in Iran. Secondary prevention with drug therapy is recommended following acute myocardial infarction (MI) to reduce the risk of new cardiovascular events and death. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study on data collected from 21181 cases of MI recorded by the MI Registry of Iran from 2013 to 2014. Ten therapies that were prescribed to patients at the time of discharge were divided into 6 groups. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis. Results: The most common MI location was in the anterior wall (31.87%). Anticoagulants, aspirin, clopidogrel were the most common prescribed medications (94.73%). Overall, 28-day (short-term) and 3-year survival rates were 0.95 (95% CI: 0.95–0.96) and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.81–0.82). In non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients, the lowest short- and long-term survival rates were observed when diuretic, anticoagulants/ aspirin and clopidogrel, beta-blockers and statins medication were simultaneously taken and the highest short- and long-term survival rates were observed in patients who took anticoagulants, aspirin and clopidogrel, nitrate agent and calcium blockers, beta-blockers and statins medication. In STEMI patients, the lowest short- and long-term survival rates were observed when diuretic, anticoagulants, aspirin and clopidogrel, nitrate agent and calcium blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) were simultaneously taken. The highest short- and long-term survival rates were observed in patients who received anticoagulants, aspirin and clopidogrel, nitrate agent and calcium blockers, beta-blockers, statins, ACEIs and ARBs. Conclusion: Prescription of the best combination of drugs, in addition to adherence to a healthy lifestyle and medication, can improve the survival rates after MI.
