Key result
An integrated symptom management program significantly improved symptom experiences, LDL levels, self-care activity, and quality of life compared to usual care in CAD patients post-PCI.
Why the study?
Does an integrated symptom management program prevent recurrent cardiac events and improve symptoms in CAD patients after PCI?
Population
58 CAD patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
Comparison
Integrated symptom management program for 6 months vs Usual care

Program participation was associated with fewer recurrent events post-PCI; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does an integrated symptom management program prevent recurrent cardiac events and improve symptoms in CAD patients after PCI?
A 6-month integrated symptom management program post-PCI significantly improves patient-reported outcomes and LDL levels, though it did not significantly reduce recurrent cardiac events in this small cohort.
Youn‐Jung Son (2008) studied Coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (n=58). Integrated symptom management program vs. Usual care was evaluated on Symptom experiences, level of LDL, self care activity, quality of life, and cardiac recurrence. An integrated symptom management program significantly improved symptom experiences, LDL levels, self-care activity, and quality of life compared to usual care in CAD patients post-PCI.
