Method: The study involved 905 patients after coronary interventions, qualified for invasive diagnosis due to symptomatic coronary disease. Aim: The aim of this study was to check the implementation of recommendations on the control of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in patients undergoing re-interventions. Results: Compared to elderly persons, younger people more often increased their physical activity (62 vs. 65 years, p = 0.009), stopped smoking (61 vs. 65 years, p < 0.001) and reduced alcohol consumption (62 vs. 65 years, p = 0.001). People with secondary and higher education increased their physical activity more often than those with primary education (51%, 31% vs. 23%, p = 0.006). Men more often than women decided to limit their alcohol consumption (48% vs. 37%, p = 0.007). Patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome were more likely to quit smoking and reduce their alcohol consumption than those without such a history (47% vs. 37%, p = 0.003 and 42% vs. 34%, p = 0.020, respectively). Only 2% of the subjects achieved the recommended LDL cholesterol values. Forty-eight percent were qualified for reinvasive procedures on the coronary arteries. Less than half of the patients undertook health-promoting behaviors that required modification of existing habits. Conclusion: Age, gender, and education level influence pro-health behaviors. The majority of patients do not achieve the levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides consistent with the ESC guidelines in the secondary prevention of coronary disease. Inadequate check of risk factors may result in faster disease progression and coronary re-interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
