Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><em>Background:</em></strong> Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are widely described in literature and disclosed to general population at school and media campaigns, nonetheless they are underrecognized by patients and often mistreated. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><em>Purpose:</em></strong> To determine patients’ perception of their own CVRF and symptoms of AMI. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><em>Methods:</em></strong> We developed a 7-month prospective study, between May and November 2021, including all patients admitted in the Cardiology Department of our institution due to type-1 AMI. All patients’ clinical history and health literacy were assessed by a structured questionnaire, within the first 48h of hospital admission. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><em>Results:</em></strong> A total of 194 patients were included in our cohort. Almost all patients (97.4%) presented CVRF, with dyslipidemia as the most prevalent (68.6%). Despite the extremely high prevalence of CVRF, only 103 (53.1%) patients recognized they had CVRF and merely 57 (29.5%) suspected they were suffering initial symptoms of AMI. Only 104 (53.6%) patients activated the emergency medical system. A total of 29 (24.4%) patients drove to the hospital while suffering AMI. Although 117 (60.3%) patients assured knowledge of AMI symptoms, 173 (89.2%) described wrong symptoms of AMI. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong> In this study, almost half of patients who suffered AMI were not conscious of the risk of the disease. Also, when suffering initial symptoms of AMI, a great proportion did not know how to seek medical assistance adequately. For these reasons, it is mandatory to improve health literacy in our population in order to raise awareness of CVRF, AMI symptoms and how to seek medical assistance adequately.</span></span></p>
