Is caregiver burden associated with the nonachievement of heart-healthy diet and physical activity behaviors in family caregivers of cardiovascular disease patients?

When developing heart-health promotion interventions, caregiver burden should be considered as a possible barrier to prevention among family members of CVD patients.
