Introduction: Positive self affirmation is one of the psychological interventions that can be applied to the treatment of coronary heart disease; its effect is currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of self affirmation on anxiety, troponin I and LDH in coronary heart disease patients.Methods: The type and design of the study was quasi-experimental with a non-randomized post-test control group design. Thirty patients with coronary heart disease who were treated in the Camelia room of Dr Soetomo Hospital who had been selected were divided into 2 groups. The first group was given self affirmation twice / day for 20 minutes and the second group had standard care as the control group. After the intervention, anxiety measurements were taken, in addition to the measurement of troponin I and LDH.Results: The results showed that self affirmation reduced anxiety (ρ = 0.03), decreased troponin I (ρ = 0.003) and decreased the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (ρ = 0.006).Conclusion: Self-affirmation improves the client’s emotions, preventing damage to the heart muscle cells. This is reflected by a decrease in the troponin I and LDH levels which are indicators of heart muscle damage.

Objective: The objective is to assess the influence of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), represented by self-controlled walking in middleaged men with different onsets of coronary heart disease (CHD), on the muscular strength of the hand flexors, muscle mass and 6-minute walking distance.Methods: 90 men aged from 45 to 65 with the same prescriptive CHD with different onsets: myocardial infarction (MI) – 56 patients, or stable angina – 34 patients were examined. After 9 months of CR we have assessed the muscular strength of the hand flexors (MSHF), have run the bioelectrical impedance analysis and 6-minute walking test, have determined the level of testosterone in blood serum.Results: In patients with CHD with MI as an onset, MSHF of the right hand increased from 43 to 49 DAN at the average, and from 41 to 46 DAN – of the left hand; equity proportion of muscle tissue increased from 48.4 to 48.8% , 6-minute walking distance – from 450 to 500 meters. In patients with CHD with stable angina as an onset, the proportion of muscle tissue decreased from 48.2 to 47.3 %, 6-minute walking distance – from 405 to 400 meters without significant improvement of MSHF.Conclusions: 9-month CR in patients after MI had a positive effect on MSHF, muscle tissue and stamina as opposed to the patients with stable angina.

Severe Heart Disease

BILL, MY LIFE PARTNER of 40 years, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2003 when he was 60. The latter is a quite common severe heart disease, usually of people older than Bill. Coronary heart disease saturates publicity about heart disease, making other heart disease invisible. Coronary heart disease tends to be a disease of coronary arteries but Bill?s arteries are very good. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. The damage has led to heart failure, the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to supply his body?s needs. In heart failure or reduced function, the heart is unable to pump as effectively, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness and fluid retention.1 Cases are sometimes treated with a heart transplant.

Psychological Risk

AbstractObjectives: Psychological coronary-proncncss is most probably one of the first recognised risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The mechanisms by which psychological risk factors might exert their influence on the cardiovascular system arc less clear than those for the more standard biological risk factors. The aim of this review was to classify all possible mechanisms of potentiation of CHD by psychological factors.Method: A MEDLINE search was conducted by selecting literature on both standard biological risk factors (eg. dyslipidaemia, hypertension, smoking) and psychological risk factors (eg. personality traits, behavioural characteristics, coping with stress) for CHD.Results: It was suggested that six biological mechanisms could mediate psychological influences specifically for CHD, of course, together with the seventh mechanism of general alterations in health-related behaviours. These are: increased oxygen demand of the heart muscle, decreased blood supply to the heart muscle, increased concentration of blood, enhanced blood clotting, increase in cholesterol and other plasma lipids, disturbances of blood sugar level, and alterations in health-related behaviours.Conclusions: If more studies of CHD were conducted with both physical and psychological risk factors simultaneously, it would be possible to investigate which of the above suggested mechanisms are important, which could in turn substantially improve both primary and secondary preventive measures.
