The Second Chance Project

This book describes the situation in Saudi Arabia for patients after a cardiac event which has not been described in the literature. The book draws on several sources of data to identify the health-related behaviours for Saudi people following a recent cardiac event, and to identify the factors that influence these behaviours. Also, provides data to improve care and outcomes for Saudi patients and assist in developing behavioural interventions by understanding factors that influence engagement in secondary prevention programs. The book will be used to develop recommendations for improving the quality of life of post-cardiac event survivors by increasing the awareness of patients about secondary prevention practices and identifying strategies to overcome barriers to secondary prevention practices in Saudi Arabia.
