Brief Summary

A retrospective observational study was conducted on a cohort of 213 patients referred to the Cardiac Rehabilitation programme of Santa "Caterina" Hospital ("Girona", Spain) following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We evaluated the long-term control of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in a 3-year period of follow-up.

Conditions

Cardiovascular Risk Factor; Cardiac Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cardiovascular Risk Factors control

  To determine whether the control of the CVRF (tobacco consumption, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus type 2 and overweight) is maintained at long term (after 3 years of discharge of the CR unit), among all patients referred to the hospital-based CR programme of Santa "Caterina" Hospital from "Girona" area, after suffering an ACS.

  3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

  3 years

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Consecutive individuals referred to the hospital-based Cardiac Rehabilitation programme through the Cardiology unit at Santa Caterina Hospital of Girona, after suffering an ACS, with a 3-year period follow-up. A target population of 227 patients were referred to the CR unit during this period. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 213 patients were recruited in the retrospective analysis of Girona's health region.
