Householder notes that it's very difficult for people to change their lifestyles because they've lived with a certain set of habits for years.

 

Her program involves a team of physicians, nurses, exercise physiologists, nutritionists, smoking cessation counselors and stress management experts who work with patients to modify their risk factors. As the most important member of the team, patients work with these professionals to examine:

  • History: family and medical, including medications
  • Psycho-social: support systems, learning style, social and religious affiliations, what activities are enjoyable
  • Smoking cessation, for smokers
  • Nutrition: how to improve diets, including strategies for lowering fats, increasing fiber and improving cholesterol
  • Fitness: on-site cardiac rehabilitation monitored by cardiac professionals, as well as one-on-one exercise consultations so patients can transition to a home program
  • Stress management: meditation, yoga, muscle relaxation techniques
  • Medication management and education: to understand what prescribed medications do, and why it's important to continue taking them.

“Any recent cardiac patient has to wonder what's OK to do now, at this stage. Having a heart attack changes your view of yourself as a healthy human being,” Hickey says. The U-M program helped, he says.

Less than a week after discharge from the hospital, Hickey's primary care physician recommended he take part in the U-M's Coronary Artery Disease Management Program. Two years later, Hickey knows a lot about eating right, exercising and managing stress, and he knows how these contribute to fighting heart disease.

“Those are my take-aways. They do an excellent job of making you aware of what you can be doing on a daily basis to live a healthier life. I'll always have those lessons, and I'm grateful,” he says

Householder says that all heart attacks are serious heart attacks, so patients really do have to commit to learning more about the risk factors and the ways they can reduce their own risks. They need knowledge and a good support system in order to feel confident about changing their behaviors. Her team of health care providers is there to help.
