But, despite proven benefits, uptake of services can be low. The aim of this research was to develop and implement a psychological intervention to influence patients' beliefs about recovery and cardiac rehabilitation, in order to increase their attendance rates at a CR programme. The intervention was based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour and took the form of two letters given to patients post myocardial infarction (<em>n</em> = 87). Using a randomized control trial design, attendance rates for those patients who received the intervention letters were compared with patients in a control group who received nominal letters. Attendance rates for the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (<em>P</em> <0.0025). This study shows that an intervention in the form of two letters given to patients can increase the number of people who attend a cardiac rehabilitation programme.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100334,"journal":{"name":"Coronary Health Care","volume":"5 3","pages":"Pages 154-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1054/chec.2001.0131","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86895042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty six male non-blockade recent PMIP were measured for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and blood cholesterol (BC), and were also asked about personal smoking status. The subjects all performed a graded exercise test (modified Bruce protocol) on a motorized treadmill, during which time ratings of perceived exertion and blood pressure were measured every 3 min, oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>) and heart rate (HR) were measured every 30s and a 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded continuously. Metabolic equivalents (METs) were derived from VO<sub>2</sub>and the patients’ risk factors for coronary heart disease were obtained using the coronary risk-disc and expressed as Dundee Rank (DR). The results produced a multiple regression of SBP, BC and smoking with exercise time of <em>r</em> = 0.76 and with METs of <em>r</em> = 0.73 which were very similar to the values using DR alone. A DR value of 71 and above was equivalent to a MET value of 7.5 which is often used as the criterion for considering a patient to be at ‘low risk’ during cardiac rehabilitation. This means that the Dundee Risk-Disc may have a place in assisting the health professional to establish which patients should be capable of achieving the 7.5 MET threshold. This could be useful in giving special attention to those patients who are underperforming. The poor correlation between RPE and VO<sub>2</sub>recognises individual differences and demonstrates the need for each patient to establish their own RPE/work relationship.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100334,"journal":{"name":"Coronary Health Care","volume":"5 2","pages":"Pages 61-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1054/chec.2001.0123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86031630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moderately raised concentrations of total homocysteine (tHcy) have been correlated with an increased risk of atherothrombotic vascular events. The prevalence of hyperhomocysteinaemia has been estimated to be about 5% in the general population, and 13–47% among patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic vascular disease. Nutritional deficiencies in the vitamin cofactors (folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6) required for homocysteine metabolism may promote hyperhomocysteinaemia. Clinical and experimental studies suggest that high homocysteine concentrations may cause the atherogenic and thrombotic tendencies of homocystinuric and hyperhomocysteinaemic patients. Experimental evidence suggests that the atherogenic propensity associated with hyperhomocysteinaemia results from endothelial dysfunction and injury followed by platelet activation and thrombus formation. The treatment of hyperhomocysteinaemia varies with the underlying cause; however, vitamin supplementation (with folic acid, pyridoxine [vitamin B<sub>6</sub>], and vitamin B<sub>12</sub>) is generally effective in reducing homocysteine concentrations. Before advocating widespread screening of patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease, we must have a clearer understanding of the clinical efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions. Prospective, randomized clinical trials, however, will be necessary to determine the effect of vitamin supplementation on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100334,"journal":{"name":"Coronary Health Care","volume":"5 2","pages":"Pages 89-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1054/chec.2001.0121","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76041673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baseline demographic and clinical variables were sampled from medical records.

Results: No differences in psychological outcome were found at three months between patients discharged early and those who remained in hospital for the conventional period.
