Implication

Suboptimal post-PCI risk factor control and awareness persist; leaves open whether tailored programs improve outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

270 participants who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between April 2003 and March 2004 at a major teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia.

Outcome

Self-reported coronary risk factor status (smoking, physical activity, blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index, depression, anxiety, and stress levels) at 12 to 18 months post-PCIpatient reported

A significant proportion of patients have inadequately managed modifiable cardiovascular risk factors 12 to 18 months after PCI, highlighting the need for tailored secondary prevention programs.
