Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Coronary Heart Disease
• Interventions: Behavioral: Systematic education in the reduction of the risk estimate to cardiovascular events

• Registration Number: NCT00795626
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre

Brief Summary

Evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment.

Detailed Description

Assess 184 (two groups) patients during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment. We will evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease.
