Purpose

The nursing systematic orientations in patients with coronary artery disease, who have been observed during 4 nursing consultations throughout one year, compared to a group of patients in a conventional treatment reduced the risk estimate to cardiovascular events.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Reduction of the risk estimate to cardiovascular events [ Time Frame: one year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Knowledge of the risk factors and the adhesion to pharmacology treatment; - Reduction of the modified risk factors in the previous knowledge of patients and their adhesion; [ Time Frame: one year ]

Estimated Enrollment:	184
Study Start Date:	January 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	January 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	January 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Lifestyle counseling: Experimental Two groups: control - conventional care intervention - systematic education in the reduction of the risk estimate to cardiovascular events	Behavioral: Systematic education in the reduction of the risk estimate to cardiovascular events Systematic education during 4 assessment throughout one year

Detailed Description:

To evaluate the impact of nursing systematic orientations by a systematic education in the reduction of the risk estimate to cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease, who have been observed during 4 nursing consultations throughout one year, compared to a group of patients in a conventional treatment.

Specific Objectives:

To evaluate the knowledge of the risk factors and the adhesion to pharmacology treatment during the basal period and after one year in both groups;
To compare the reduction of the modified risk factors in the previous knowledge of patients and their adhesion to the treatment in both groups;

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:patients of both sexes, over 18 years old, with diagnostic of ACS (unstable angina and acute myocardial infarctation (AMI) with elevation of. ST segment and without elevation of ST segment) with CAD diagnosticated by cardiac catheterism or electrocardiogram, and they must agree to participate in the study by signing the term of consent presented to them. All patients described above are going to be invited to participate in the study still in their hospitalization, however the first nursing assessment is going to be booked for the third month after discharge. This period is justified because the first three months are considered to be a critical period to occur new events and complications.

Exclusion Criteria:those patients with cognitive déficits, neurological sequelas, who do not have availability to come to the consultations or not agree to participate in this study.
