Sumario: | A patient’s compliance to a physician’s lifestyle information is essential in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients. We assessed potential characteristics associated with a patient’s recollection of physician information and lifestyle changes. This study recruited and interviewed patients (aged ≤ 80 years) 6–18 months after hospitalization due to acute coronary syndrome or elective myocardial revascularization. A physician’s information on risk factors was recognized if patients recollected the assessment of their diet, weight management, blood pressure control, cholesterol level, diabetes, and other lifestyle factors by the doctor. Of a total of 946 chronic coronary syndrome patients, 52.9% (501) of them declared the recollection of providing information on more than 80% of the risk factors. A good recollection of risk factor information was associated with the following: a patient’s age (OR per year: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95 to 0.99), obesity (OR: 4.41; 95% CI: 3.09–6.30), diabetes (OR: 4.16; 95% CI: 2.96–5.84), diuretic therapy (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.03–1.91), calcium channel blockers (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.04–2.09), and ACEI/sartan (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45–0.94) at hospitalization discharge. In terms of goal attainment, better adherence to antihypertensive drugs (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.07–3.03) was observed in the patients with a good compared to a poor recollection of risk factor information. The recollection of physician risk factor information was significantly associated with more comorbidities. Strategies to tailor the conveying of information to a patient’s perception are needed for optimal patient–doctor communication. |
