Why the study?
Does in-hospital brochure-based education improve knowledge regarding cardiovascular diseases in patients with myocardial infarction, and how does BMI affect this increase in knowledge?
Does in-hospital brochure-based education improve knowledge regarding cardiovascular diseases in patients with myocardial infarction, and how does BMI affect this increase in knowledge?
In-hospital brochure-based education improves knowledge in myocardial infarction survivors, but the knowledge increase is significantly lower in overweight and obese patients, suggesting a need for intensified educational interventions in this group.
BMI independently associated with smaller knowledge gains after MI brochure education; leaves open whether intensified strategies benefit obese subgroups.
Introduction. Conscious implementation of a therapeutic plan immediately after discharge from hospital is pivotal in myocardial infarction survivors. Obesity and overweight are known as factors increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events and worsening long-term clinical outcome.
