Impact of Systematic Nursing Orientations in the Reduction of Predicted Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

Impact of Systematic Nursing Orientations in the Reduction of Predicted Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

Evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment.

Assess 184 (two groups) patients during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment. We will evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients of both sexes;
• aged 18 years or older;
• diagnosed with ACS (unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation and without ST segment elevation) with CAD diagnosed by cardiac catheterization or electrocardiogram;
• patients have to agree to participate by signing a consent term

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients with cognitive deficits;
• neurological sequelae;
• who are not able to come for visits, or who do not consent to participate in the study.
