Persistently unhealthy lifestyle is a common problem of CHD patients; the education and treatment program presented here may be a suitable means of improving patients' lifestyle for secondary prevention. Further studies will be needed to document long-term efficacy and to determine whether occasional refresher courses will be needed as well.
