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 .
Exercise training intervention after coronary angioplasty: the ETICA trial.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine the effects of exercise training ( ET ) on functional capacity and quality of life ( QOL ) in patients who received percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ( PTCA ) or coronary stenting ( CS )  , the effects on the restenosis rate and the outcome . BACKGROUND It is unknown whether ET induces beneficial effects after coronary angioplasty . METHODS We studied 118 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease ( mean age 57+/-10 years ) who underwent PTCA or CS on one ( 69 % ) or two ( 31 % ) native epicardial coronary arteries . Patients were r and omized into two matched groups . Group T ( n = 59 ) was exercised three times a week for six months at 60 % of peak VO2 . Group C ( n = 59 ) was the control group . RESULTS Only trained patients had significant improvements in peak VO2 ( 26 % , p < 0.001 ) and quality of life ( 26.8 % , p = 0.001 vs. C ) . The angiographic restenosis rate was unaffected by ET ( T : 29 % ; C : 33 % , P = NS ) and was not significantly different after PTCA or CS . However , residual diameter stenosis was lower in trained patients ( -29.7 % , p = 0.045 ) . In patients with angiographic restenosis , thallium uptake improved only in group T ( 19 % ; p < 0.001 ) . During the follow-up ( 33+/-7 months ) trained patients had a significantly lower event rate than controls ( 11.9 vs. 32.2 % , RR : 0.71 , 95 % confidence interval [ CI ] : 0.60 to 0.91 , p = 0.008 ) and a lower rate of hospital readmission ( 18.6 vs. 46 % , RR : 0.69 , 95 % CI : 0.55 to 0.93 , p < 0.001 ) . CONCLUSIONS Moderate ET improves functional capacity and QOL after PTCA or CS . During the follow-up , trained patients had fewer events and a lower hospital readmission rate than controls , despite an unchanged restenosis rate
