Article Abstract:

Coronary heart disease patients benefit greatly when their health risk behaviors are reduced and clinicians have designed wellness models which focus on patient adherence to risk reduction programs. Models emphasizing behavior and motivation consider contextual influences such as environment, social factors and biologic factors in their promotion of lifestyle evaluation and change. In targeting key influencing factors, models can be designed for individual risk reduction needs.

Lipid disorders can be managed with considerable cost efficiency through outpatient facilities. High concentrations of low-density lipoproteins probably encourages artherosclerosis, but hospital-based programs are expensive. Cardiac centers, clinics for diabetes treatment, and multispecialty medical groups could reduce health care costs by establishing lipid management clinics.
