Abstract

It is well established that acute coronary syndrome remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Targeted-patient discharge education in combination with cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs positively impact upon recovery and clinical outcomes. Whilst, there is strong evidence supporting the content of discharge instructions (i.e. CVD prevention strategies, components and modes of delivery) it is unknown how discharge education provided during the acute hospitalisation period impacts upon clinical outcomes and which elements of this material contributes to improvements.
