Sažetak
The aim of this study was to find out and compare characteristics of cardiac patients who, after hospital treatment, participated in cardiac rehabilitation programmes at the Polyclinic for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation in Zagreb during 1999 and 2009. The results show an increase in mean patients’ age (men: 55.5 to 61.53; p=0.000 and women: 58.95 to 62.66; p=0.01), an increase of the proportion of those ± 65 years by 23% in both genders (men: 17% to
40%; women: 27% to 50%), an increase in the proportion of women (21.16% to 28.22%), a marked increase in the proportion of post – PCI patients with stenting (men: 15.58% to 61.92%; women: 9.68% to 62.20%), reduction of patients with BMI <25.00 kg/m2 (men: 47.19% to 13.93%; women: 54.84% to 24.41%) and a constantly high proportion of patients with hypercholesterolemia (above 85%). It is obvious that systematic action is required to improve awareness of risk factors and desirable health behaviour.
