Coronary heart disease is caused by various factors that can cause an increase in the incidence / deposits of cholesterol which narrow the vessels in the whole body including the coronary vessels. Coronary heart disease has become the leading cause of death in Indonesia. According to WHO in 2005, the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease (especially coronary heart disease, stroke, and rheumatic heart disease) increased globally to 17.5 million from 14.4 million in 1990. The results of the situation have been obtained from RT 12 KelurahanRawasariKecamatanAlamBarajo, Jambi City, in this sub-districthealth services such as Intregated Service Post (Posyandu) have been established. However, there is no scheduled health education as a promotive and preventive effort to overcome the problem of the high incidence of people experiencing heart disease. The results of health education activities for the elderly are expected to understand the concept of nursing problems that cause coronary heart disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence increases with age and is frequently higher in the elderly.(1) Therefore prevention of CVD in the elderly through management of risk factors is important in order to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). There are several risk factors of CVD that can be modified, such as smoking, physical activity, and unhealthy diet. Cessation of smoking is the most potent measure to prevent thousands of CVD events and death

Cardiovascular disease is one of the global leading causes of death . Although indeveloped countries overall cardiovascular death is declining due to long term declineof rheumatic heart disease (RHD), cerebro vascular and hypertensive heart disease,heart disease is still the leading cause of death. In developing countries prevalence ofcoronary heart disease (CHD) is in increasing trend and cardiovascular disease patternis changing. Cardiovascular disease pattern of this region is revealed in this study.Total 300 study subjects, admitted from May 2000 to April 2001, 174 (58%) male and126 (42%) female and age ranged from 5 to 83 years were analyzed retrospectively.Proportionate distribution of all admitted cases was calculated and arranged inaccording with sequence order.Rheumatic heart disease was found the commonest, which constituted 27.3%, followedby coronary heart disease (21.7%) and hypertension (20.7%) respectively. Chronicobstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with cor pulmonale (7.7%) was fourth insequence order then respectively came diabetes mellitus (DM) coexisted with CHD orhypertension, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), cardiac arrhythmia without organicheart disease, congenital heart disease, infective endocarditis, rheumatic fever,pericardial effusion etc. Readmission rate within one year was 12.3% and mortalityrate was 2.7%. Conclusion: Rheumatic heart disease is the commonest heart diseasefollowed by coronary heart disease and hypertension. COPD with cor pulmonale,diabetes coexisted with CHD or hypertension, DCM and cardiac arrhythmia withoutorganic heart disease are also common heart diseases.Key Words: Cardiovascular diseases, Disease pattern.

This cluster randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of an intervention to teach resourcefulness on depression and coping style of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A convenience sample of 72 patients in community settings took part. Participants in the intervention group (n = 36) received an 8-week intervention based on the concept of resourcefulness, plus routine health education. Participants in the control group (n = 36) received routine health education only. After the intervention, participants in the intervention group had significantly higher scores on resourcefulness and coping styles, and lower scores on depression than those in the control group (both ps < .001). The findings suggest that a well-developed intervention to teach resourcefulness could help patients with CHD to be more resourceful, improve their level of depression, and choose more effective strategies to cope with stress.

Summary. In 168 male diabetics aged 40-64 years participating in the Whitehall Study, ten-year age adjusted mortality rates were significantly higher than in non-diabetics for all causes, coronary heart disease, all cardiovascular disease and, in addition, causes other than cardiovascular. Mortality rates were not significantly related to known duration of the diabetes. The predictive effects of several major mortality risk factors were similar in diabetics and non-diabetics. Excess mortality rates in the diabetics could not be attributed to differences in levels of blood pressure or any other of the major risk factors measured. Key words: diabetics; mortality rates; risk factors; coronary heart disease. There are many studies documenting higher mortality rates - particularly from cardiovascular disease -in diabetics compared with age and sex matched diabetics from the same population (see Jarrett et al. (1982) for review). However, there is sparse information relating potential risk factors to subsequent mortality within a diabetic population, information which might help to explain the increased mortality risk and also suggest preventive therapeutic approaches. In the Whitehall Study, a number of established diabetics participated in the screening programme and data on mortality rates up to ten years after screening are available. We present here a comparison of diabetics and non-diabetics in terms of relative mortality rates and the influence of conventional risk factors as well as an analysis of the relationship between duration of diabetes and mortality risk.
