title: [Secondary prevention of myocardial infraction].
abstract: Results of numerous epidemiological research prove that the development of civilization, density of population, constant changes of human diet based on increased consumption of processed, high-energy food rich in animal protein, sugar, saturated animal fat and change of life standard that is characterized by limiting physical activity and energy output and widespread pollution became favorable conditions (if not causative) increasing the rate circulatory system morbidity, including ischemic heart disease and myocardium infraction. The purpose of presented research is an attempt to answer a question how the patients after myocardium infraction self-estimate their previous style of life. The paper also tries to find the relation between family record of sickness with dietary preferences and physical activity. In purpose to collect the empiric material the scientists used a method of diagnostic soundings. The author's questionnaire was used as a technique of the survey that was performed on a group of 100 patients after myocardium infraction. The patients were chosen randomly and the survey was accomplished in hospitals of Słupsk and Koszalin. Taking care of proper health condition by patients after myocardium infraction is highly unsatisfactory. The results show that in spite of myocardium infraction, 30% of respondents still smoke, 30% use alcohol and 40% use inappropriate diet. Dietary references of the respondents prove the necessity of providing more education concerning healthy diet in everyday life. The respondents ceased systematic physical exercises and the majority of them (62%) does not exercise regularly (32% cured by preservative method and 30% invasion method).
