“…Medical and surgical interventions are proven to reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular events among people living with CAD. However, lifestyle risk factors modification is also one of the most effective methods used to regress atherosclerosis among CAD patients (Kotseva et al., 2019 ; Maniar & Bittner, 2015 ; Mozaffarian et al., 2008 ). Adherence to medical management in addition to following healthy lifestyle habits is crucial for secondary prevention of CAD (Hajar, 2017 ; Kotseva et al., 2019 ).…”

“…Adherence to medical management in addition to following healthy lifestyle habits is crucial for secondary prevention of CAD (Hajar, 2017 ; Kotseva et al., 2019 ). We may prevent cardiac events or reverse the condition by providing education, counselling and support to patients about healthy lifestyle changes (Dod et al., 2010 ; von Gaudecker, 2017 ; Maniar & Bittner, 2015 ). Similarly, a systematic review of 28 studies on the effect of nurse‐delivered lifestyle interventions, revealed positive results of intervention on various outcomes such as weight, dietary behaviours, physical activity and patient satisfaction (Sargent et al., 2012 ).…”

Aim The main aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a nurse‐led lifestyle‐related risk factor modification intervention on multiple lifestyle behaviours among coronary artery disease patients over six months. Design A pre‐test post‐test control group design was conducted in a single clinical centre in Nepal. Methods A total of 224 eligible patients were randomly assigned to either the usual care group or the intervention group at baseline. The lifestyle intervention consisted of a brief counselling session supplemented with informational leaflets. Standard questionnaires were used to collect self‐reported data from patients on multiple lifestyle behaviours: diet, physical activity, adherence to medication, stress, body mass index, smoking and alcohol consumption. General linear model repeated measure analysis was used to estimate the effect of intervention. Results A statistically significant effect of study group‐by‐time interaction for diet, adherence to medication, physical activity, and perceived stress was found at 6‐month follow‐up. Overall, greater improvement in lifestyle habits was found in the intervention group compared with the control group at 6‐month follow‐up.

Prevention of stroke: a strategic global imperative

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increasing global stroke burden strongly suggests that currently implemented primary stroke prevention strategies are not sufficiently effective, and new primary prevention strategies with larger effect sizes are needed. Here, we review the latest stroke epidemiology literature, with an emphasis on the recently published Global Burden of Disease 2013 Study estimates; highlight the problems with current primary stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention strategies; and outline new developments in primary stroke and CVD prevention. We also suggest key priorities for the future, including comprehensive prevention strategies that target people at all levels of CVD risk; implementation of an integrated approach to promote healthy behaviours and reduce health disparities; capitalizing on information technology to advance prevention approaches and techniques; and incorporation of culturally appropriate education about healthy lifestyles into standard education curricula early in life. Given the already immense and fast-increasing burden of stroke and other major noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which threatens worldwide sustainability, governments of all countries should develop and implement an emergency action plan addressing the primary prevention of NCDs, possibly including taxation strategies to tackle unhealthy behaviours that increase the risk of stroke and other NCDs.
