Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death all over the world. Lifestyle
can have an important role not only in reducing risk factors but also in the prevention and treatment
of coronary heart diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between clinical
parameters and various aspects of patients’ lifestyles according to the severity of their coronary
artery stenosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a descriptive, analytic study carried out on 220 patients
undergoing coronary angiography at Mazandaran Heart Center. Based on the angiography results,
patients were divided into two groups: artery stenosis > 50% (110 cases) and < 50% (110). Patients’
lifestyles were evaluated using health‑promoting behavior questionnaire. Blood pressure and
triglyceride, low‑density lipoprotein, high‑density lipoprotein, cholesterol, and fasting blood sugar
were also measured. After collecting data, SPSS 21 software, Chi‑square test, t‑test, and multiple
linear regression were used for analysis of the data.
RESULTS: The results showed that in patients with positive angiographic data, there is a significant
correlation between clinical parameters and dimensions of health‑promoting behavior (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Given the impact of clinical parameters on various aspects of lifestyle, it seems
that by teaching the different aspects of lifestyle (such as having a healthy diet consisting of fresh
fruits and vegetables, reducing intake of saturated fat, physical activity and regular exercise, stress
management, and blood pressure control) to patients with a positive angiographic result, we can
improve their lifestyles by means of improving clinical parameters.
