All the data used in analyzing were adjusted with excluding the patients who have contraindications. +Analysis was performed using multivariable logistic regression, and variables in the model include baseline characteristics, medical histories, medication before admission, presentation of AMI, laboratory results during hospitalization, and procedures during index admission. ACEI/ARBs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB); CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; STEMI, ST-elevated myocardial infarction; NSTEMI, non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; CHF: congestive heart failure; AF: atrial fibrillation; Combined medication: combined using five medications including aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACEI/ARBs, and statins
