Brief summary
Evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment.
Detailed description
Assess 184 (two groups) patients during four nursing visits for a 1-year period and compare to a group of patients submitted to conventional treatment. We will evaluate the impact of systematic nursing orientations in the reduction of predicted cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease.
