This study is comparing two ways of protecting your heart after a heart attack or coronary procedure. One approach starts you on all recommended preventive medications immediately while you're still in the hospital (called 'first-time-right'). The other approach gradually adds medications over weeks or months based on how your body responds (called 'current practice'). Researchers want to see which approach helps prevent future heart problems more effectively.
People who have had a heart attack are at high risk of having another one, and current prevention strategies often don't work as well as they should because patients don't stick with gradually adding more medications. This study will test whether starting with a complete medication plan right away — rather than slowly building up — helps protect your heart better and prevents more future events.

You will be enrolled either in the 'current practice' group (where your doctor manages your medications as usual) or the 'first-time-right' group (where you receive a complete preventive medication plan at hospital discharge). Researchers will track your health outcomes, medication use, and risk factors over time through follow-up visits and medical records. The study does not involve taking any experimental medications — both groups are following standard medical guidelines.
