Evaluation of the effect of a heart attack risk program in patients at a risk above 30% and Sex distribution in Baneh city

Abstract

Background:Cardiovascular diseases are among the most common causes behind death rate and disability in both developed and underdeveloped countries. At the same time it is among the most preventable non-contagious diseases of humankind. Risk-evaluation is one of the proper methods for estimating the probability of heart failure and stroke within ten years and by diagnosing the risk factors helps to reduce their probability. Methods:This study is a descriptive- analytical one. The members of statistical society, which are registered in Risk-evaluation program, are above thirty years of age. The risk level of the members at first were thirty percent and above and they had also subsequent re-visits and meanwhile health supervisors and nurses have registered all their information in Sib system. Due to small size of the statistical society, all the people with aforementioned characteristics, has been included in sample society. The final sample was determined twenty one persons. Findings were collected through Sib system's information and in order to implementing data analysis, T-test, Sign test and MC Nemar were deployed. Results:. Nutrition index, blood cholesterol, diastolic blood pressure, and systolic blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference were significantly better in men and women at the present visit than at the first visit (p <0.05).. But there were no significant reports of smoking and physical activity in men and women based on McNemar test. Cases such as completing a risk card were unavailable due to inaccessibility and use of medications such as aspirin and atorvastatin and hypertensive medications due to incomplete data recording by health care providers, health workers, and physicians. Conclusion: According to the results of the risk assessment program, there are significant changes in the status of risk factors for heart disease. 76.19% of people have risk levels below 30%. however it seems that in the course of its implementation there are essential problems that could be eliminated. However, it is recommended that a review of the programs and interventions specified in this program be recommended
