Stored images were reviewed by a physician (MI) experienced in NVC [ 13].
For example, more than half of MI patients experience feelings of fatigue and general malaise in the months before infarction [ 2].
Clinicians should recognize that female MI survivors experience fatigue and lack of energy, pain and discomfort, lessened mobility, negative feelings, and have less access to needed information in their daily lives.
Previous work has considered aspects of teaching MI to experienced and qualified clinicians [ 61– 63].
In this study, female MI survivors experienced significantly more pain and discomfort than did the general female population.
In fact, 25% of the female MI survivors experienced chest pain several times a week, and 8% experienced chest pain at least every day.
This was evident both in the total study cohort and in those patients who had experienced MI before the "MI admission".
Ten of the RA patients and 11 of the controls had experienced MI before the study "MI admission".
There were 120 (0.92%) deaths, 105 (0.80%) subjects who experienced MI and 79 (0.60%) subjects who experienced stroke in the KardioPro group, whereas in the control group there were 219 (1.67%) deaths, 114 (0.87%) subjects who experienced MI and 83 (0.63%) subjects who experienced stroke.
Research has shown that RNs experience MI as a valuable tool in their HPP [ 18] and several studies indicate that MI is an effective method to support patients to make lifestyle changes [ 19- 23].
