Nurses only and multidisciplinary teams were the most frequent professionals to provide education , and most educational interventions were delivered postdischarge .
Psychoeducational interventions were generally effective at reducing smoking and admissions for patients with ACS .
Culturally appropriate health education , self-management educational interventions , group medical visits and psychoeducational interventions were generally effective for patients with T2DM .
Results indicate that there is a body of current evidence about the efficacy of health education , its content and delivery methods for patients with ACS or T2DM .
OBJECTIVES This umbrella review aim ed to identify the current evidence on health education-related interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) or type two diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) ; identify the educational content , delivery methods , intensity , duration and setting required .
The purpose was to provide recommendations for educational interventions for high-risk patients with both ACS and T2DM .
Randomised training after myocardial infarction: short and long-term effects of exercise training after myocardial infarction in patients on beta-blocker treatment. A randomized, controlled study.
In this study we assessed the short- and long-term effects of 4-weeks of exercise training ( MI ) soon after myocardial infa rct ion in patients on beta-blocker treatment . Thirty-seven male patients < or = 65 years of age were included in the study , 19 of them r and omized to exercise training ( ET ) and 18 to a control group ( Ctr ) .  Cumulated work ( CW ) , calculated in kiloJoules ( kJ ) , was recorded before immediately after the intervention period and again six months after the MI . In the short term the mean ( SD ) CW increased by 22 % ( from 65(20 ) to 79(25 ) kJ ) in the ET group , compared with no change in the Ctr patients ( 65(24 ) vs 65(21 ) kJ ) ( p = 0.009 ) . At late follow-up CW was 14 % above baseline in the ET patients ( 65(20 ) vs 74(20 ) kJ ) p = 0.036 , compared with only 6 % in the 15 Ctr patients who were still available for follow-up ( 68(24 ) vs 72(29 ) kJ ) , but without a significant between-group difference . In post-MI patients on beta-blocker treatment , and with a high baseline exercise capacity , physical training improved exercise capacity in the short term , but there was no significant between-group difference at long-term follow-up
