Overview

Supports incorporating extended education into post-ACS cardiac rehabilitation; extends RCT evidence on sustained knowledge gains.

Structured PICO

Does an extended education program improve knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors in patients undergoing rehabilitation following acute coronary syndrome?

P
Population
205 subjects (153 men, 52 women, aged 62 ± 9 years) undergoing early in-hospital complex cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) following acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous intervention.
I
Intervention
Extended education program (package of educational materials and additional lectures) conducted in the 2nd and 3rd week of complex cardiac rehabilitation.
C
Comparator
Standard education during complex cardiac rehabilitation.
O
Outcome
Knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors (measured as percentage of correct questionnaire answers) after education and at 3-month follow-up.patient reported

An extended education program during early cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves short- and medium-term knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors in patients post-acute coronary syndrome.
