Relationship between unhealthy behaviors and major adverse cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease

Objective To explore the relationship between unhealthy behavior and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods By convenience sampling, 262 patients with coronary heart disease diagnosed under transcoronary angiography in 2017 in the department of cardiology of a hospital in Harbin and readmitted to the hospital for examination one year later, were selected as the participants of the study and the General Demographic and Clinical Data Questionnaire and Health Behavior Scale were used in the investigation. Results In this study, 163 patients in MACE group and 99 patients in N-MACE group were enrolled. Logistic regression analysis showed that psychological stress (OR=1.062) , participation (OR=1.060) , lifestyle (OR=1.055) , C-reactive protein (OR=1.183) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.567) had predictive effects on MACE (P<0.05) . Conclusions Medical staff should pay attention to health education for patients with coronary heart disease and encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle so as to reduce the occurrence of MACE.
