Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are still the leading cause of death and disability worldwide despite the availability of well-established and effective preventive strategies.
We aim to assess patients awareness of the main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in a population with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) admitted in cardiac rehabilitation unit.
50 patients with recent ACS have been recruited. We used a 9-items questionnaire about awareness of CV risk factors and eating habits.
Many patients underestimate the role of physical activity (PA), cigarette smoking and diabetes as main CV risk factors. Although the importance of good eating habits as cardiovascular protector is well known, only few participants declare a healthy balanced diet.
This study revealed low awareness of common CV risk factors among patients with recent ACS. Individual training plans and the use of technological development to improve awareness and adherence are needed especially in high risk population.
尽管有成熟且有效的预防策略，心血管疾病（CVD）仍然是全球范围内导致死亡和残疾的主要原因。
我们旨在评估在最近急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）入院心脏康复病房的人群中，患者对主要可改变心血管风险因素的认识。
我们招募了 50 名最近 ACS 的患者。我们使用了一个关于心血管风险因素和饮食习惯的 9 项问卷来评估。
许多患者低估了体力活动（PA）、吸烟和糖尿病作为主要心血管风险因素的作用。尽管良好饮食习惯作为心血管保护因素的重要性众所周知，但只有少数参与者声称有健康的均衡饮食。
本研究揭示了最近 ACS 患者对常见心血管风险因素的认识不足。需要制定个体化的培训计划和利用技术发展来提高高危人群的认识和依从性。
