Study Population
Demographic and clinical characteristics of all patients are shown in
Table 1. There was no significant difference between the two groups in
terms of gender and age. Among the patients participating in the study,
147 people were in the intervention group, 95 of them were men (64.6%)
and 52 were women (35.4%), and their average age was 59.85. Also, out
of 117 patients participating in the control group, 65 were men (55.6%)
and 52 were women (44.4%), whose average age was 61.78. In terms of
coronary artery disease risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension,
hyperlipidemia and cigarette smoking) there was no significant
difference between the two groups.
Also, out of the total of 147 patients studied in the intervention
group, the location of myocardial infarction in 56.5% of cases was in
the anterior regions, 39.3% in the lower regions and in 4.6% in the
lateral regions. In the control group, the location of myocardial
infarction in 45.3% of cases was in the anterior regions, in 52.1% in
the lower regions and in 2.6% in the lateral regions, and also in this
sense, no significant difference was observed between the two studied
groups (Table 2).
