Long-term effects of lifestyle behavior change in coronary artery disease: Effects on recurrent coronary events after percutaneous coronary intervention

Article Abstract:

The effects of a behaviorally oriented cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention program on lifestyle changes and on coronary recurrence rates are evaluated. Results of the study indicate that the coronary patients can achieve long-lasting behavioral changes, which can reverse, halt or slow down their coronary disease progression by changing their risk-factor-related lifestyle habits.
