“…Rolley and Thompson () argue that acute cardiovascular care is groaning under fiscal demands and that it is time to adapt a chronic disease management approach. In an ageing population with increased survival rates, surveillance of ACS is needed to inform clinicians and policymakers (Jennings, Bennett, Lonergan, & Shelley, ).…”

“…Moore et al (2015) suggest this is an ongoing process of interpreting biomedical risk and bodily reactions, making sense of rehabilitation schedules and rearranging social routines. Rolley and Thompson (2012) argue that acute cardiovascular care is groaning under fiscal demands and that it is time to adapt a chronic disease management approach. In an ageing population with increased survival rates, surveillance of ACS is needed to inform clinicians and policymakers (Jennings, Bennett, Lonergan, & Shelley, 2012).…”

This study demonstrates that primary and secondary prevention education initiatives are needed for CHD risk factor management and symptom interpretation. The implications of smoking on cardiovascular health need further dissemination. Efforts to support smoking cessation need to be strengthened and widely accessible. Primary care can have a key role to play in managing CHD risk and supporting women with positive risk factors.

“…These discussions should frame CHD as a chronic disease, to dispel patients’ perceptions that coronary revascularization “cures” their heart condition[26]. Conversations with patients should frame ACS as a chronic disease and dispel cure perceptions, perhaps by explicitly referring the concept of a “cure”, i.e., “you are not cured”.…”

Objective We examined the proportion of patients perceiving their heart condition to be cured following hospitalization for ACS and identified characteristics associated with these perceptions. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of adults hospitalized with ACS (N=396). Patient interviews during hospitalization and one week post-discharge provided demographic and psychosocial characteristics. Medical records provided clinical characteristics. At one week, patients who rated “My heart condition is cured” as “definitely true” or “mostly true” were considered to perceive their heart condition cured. Results Participants were aged 60.7 (SD:11.0) years, 26.5% female, and 89.0% non-Hispanic white; 16.7% had unstable angina, 59.6% NSTEMI, and 23.7% STEMI. One week post-discharge, 30.3% perceived their heart condition to be cured. Characteristics associated with cure perceptions were older age (OR=2.2; 95% CI: 1.2–4.0 for ≥65 years vs <55 years), male sex (OR=2.4; 95%CI: 1.3–4.2), history of hypertension (OR=1.8; 95%CI: 1.1–3.1), history of stroke (OR=4.2; 95%CI: 1.1–16.7), no history of CHD (OR=2.8; 95%CI: 1.6–4.9), and receipt of CABG during hospitalization (OR=4.8, 95%CI: 1.9–12.0 vs medical management). Conclusion One week post-discharge, 3 in 10 patients perceived their heart condition to be cured. Practice Implications Conversations with patients should frame ACS as a chronic disease and dispel cure perceptions.
