Cardiovascular treatments should not be interrupted following hospital admission, in order to decrease patients' morbidity. However, following ICU admission, such treatments are frequently interrupted and/or modified.~Few studies have investigated the outcome impact of medications interruption and/or modifications following hospital admission. We did consider that it might be interesting to study whether treatment continuation, interruption, and/or re-introduction following ICU admission may modify patients' outcome either in the ICU or following hospital discharge (at 3,6 and 12 months).
Cardiovascular treatments should not be interrupted following hospital admission, in order to decrease patients' morbidity. However, following ICU admission, such treatments are frequently interrupted and/or modified. The question of the study is to investigate wether such treatment interruption might be responsible for prognosis modifications.
