Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, emphasizing the imperative need for effective preventive strategies. This study aims to assess the impact of lifestyle interventions in preventing recurrent cardiovascular events among individuals with a history of CVD. Methods: A Prospective interventional study was conducted involving a cohort of 200 participants with a documented history of cardiovascular events. Participants were enrolled from Department of Cardiology, United Institute of Medical Sciences, a tertiary care hospital and randomized equally into two groups: an intervention group (100 study subjects) receiving targeted lifestyle interventions and a control group (100 study subjects) receiving standard care. Lifestyle interventions included personalized dietary counseling, structured exercise programs, stress management sessions, and smoking cessation support. Results: The lifestyle intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of recurrent cardiovascular events compared to the control group. Statistical analysis revealed decrease in the recurrence rate among participants engaging in lifestyle interventions. Key findings included notable improvements in [specific parameters, e.g., blood pressure, lipid profiles, etc., highlighting the positive impact of lifestyle modifications. Compliance with dietary recommendations and regular exercise was associated with better outcomes. Conclusion: This study provides compelling evidence supporting the efficacy of lifestyle interventions in preventing recurrent cardiovascular events. Incorporating personalized dietary modifications, regular exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation support into standard care significantly reduces the risk of subsequent cardiovascular incidents. These findings underscore the importance of lifestyle modifications as integral components of secondary prevention strategies for individuals with a history of cardiovascular events.
