Abstract: (404 Views)
Background and purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are among the chronic diseases with a high mortality rate. Considering the importance of person-centered medicine and Iranian medicine, the concept of temperament has a great impact on the occurrence of diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the temperament of patients with an acute heart attack.
Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 280 new patients, aged 20 to 60 years, diagnosed with their first acute heart attack, confirmed by a cardiologist based on clinical and laboratory findings, at the Mazandaran Heart Center from April to September 2024. The study population was selected using convenience sampling.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.81±5.98 years, and 70% were male. The frequency of hot temperament, both singly and in combination, differed significantly between the sexes (P= 0.011), as did wet temperament compared to other temperaments (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that most patients with acute heart attacks have a hot and humid temperament. Therefore, according to the principles of Iranian medicine, maintaining health and effectively treating these patients requires avoiding factors that increase hot and humid temperament, such as overeating, obesity, physical inactivity, and inadequate sleep. In other words, individuals with a hot and humid temperament are more susceptible to this disease and should adopt preventive measures that help reduce this temperament, including proper nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate sleep.
