The article presents result of testing revised illness perception questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed based on the model of self-regulation G. Leventhal. The study involved 140 patients: patients with breast cancer and patients with ischemic heart disease. It is shown that the Russian version of revised illness perception questionnaire is a reliable tool for quantifying components of the perception of the disease. The technique has sufficient reliability, performance consistency and internal structure corresponds to the English version. External validity questionnaire confirmed significant association components of illness perception with personal anxiety. According to the results of cluster analysis questionnaire scales was isolated polar continuum of possible options for responding to the disease, manifested in specific types of attitude to the disease.

558 Background: Data show that in post-menopausal women with early breast cancer, longer use of aromatase inhibitor (AI) is associated with increased odds of ischemic heart disease. Here we explore the association between adjuvant AI use and cardiac disease in women undergoing cardiac angiography after a diagnosis of early breast cancer. Methods: We linked a database of 7,681 women who underwent cardiac angiography at the University Clinical Center of Ljubljana between December 2004 and November 2010 with the Cancer Registry for Slovenia. Women with early breast cancer that subsequently underwent cardiac angiography were identified. Information on cardiovascular risk factors was retrieved from the patients’ charts and from discharge letters after cardiac angiography. The endpoint of interest was a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease or left ventricular dysfunction (IHD-LVD) without evidence of valvular heart disease at the time of angiography. Conditional, logistic regression was used to test for associations between variables. Results: Among 117 eligible women 75% (n=88) were postmenopausal and 62% (n=73) had hormonal receptor positive (HR+) disease. Of these 42% (n=31) were treated with AI. Overall, 48% (n=56) of women were found to have IHD-LVD. In patients with HR+ breast cancer, use of AIs was significantly associated with IHD-LVD as compared to tamoxifen alone (HR 2.50, 95% CI 1.01-6.29, p=0.046). For each year of AI therapy, there was a trend for higher odds of IHD-LVD (OR: 1.25, 95% CI 0.95-1.67, p=0.116). This effect appeared independent of age, body mass index, baseline hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and heart disease or prior anthracyclines exposure. Among all patients, use of anthracyclines and left-sided irradiation was associated with non-significant increases in IHD-LVD (HR 2.37, 95% CI 0.89-6.09, p=0.45 and HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.69-2.40, p=0.44 respectively). Conclusions: Compared to tamoxifen, AIs are associated with a time dependent increase in IHD-LVD. This risk appears independent of other risk factors for heart disease. Anthracycline exposure and left breast or chest wall radiation showed non-significant associations with IHD-LVD in this small cohort.

Introduction: Cardiovascular health behaviors refer to the activities done by individuals to prevent recurrence, minimize risk factors, improve survival, reduce recurrent events, control cardiovascular disease, and help prevent further complications. Illness perception may determine these behaviors. This study is aimed to identify level of illness perception, cardiovascular health behaviors and illness perception predicting cardiovascular health behaviors among patients with ischemic heart disease. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Altogether 114 samples were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by using pretested semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Illness perception was at moderate level (M= 148.05, SD= 12.86) which represented a moderate threatening perception. The score of cardiovascular health behaviors was at a high level (M=92.14, SD=10.72). Conclusions: The findings showed that illness perception can be a predictor of cardiovascular health behaviors.

Psychological adaptation is a necessary component of rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease. Post-infarction period is a special adaptation period for the patient, which requires a holistic approach taking into account both medical, physical and psychological components. High levels of anxiety in patients, both before surgical interventions, and in the postoperative period, worsen the prognosis that requires to improve the methods of rehabilitation.          The objective of the research was to study the peculiarities of psychological adaptation in patients with ischemic heart disease, depending on reperfusion approaches and applied methods of rehabilitation.          Materials and methods. There were examined 450 patients with ischemic heart disease using different methods of reperfusion interventions. Depending on the methods of rehabilitation, the patients were divided into three subgroups. The determination of levels of reactive and personal anxiety was performed at the beginning of treatment, 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after treatment.          Results. There were revealed high levels of reactive and personal anxiety in patients with ischemic heart disease, which differed depending on the applied reperfusion interventions. The use of psychological methods at the stage of rehabilitation contributed to a decrease in anxiety levels a week after using suggestive therapy methods, and the effect of learning was noted a month and 6 months after the observation.          Conclusions. One of the constituents of a cardiologic patient is his psychological status, namely the level of anxiety. For the effective adaptation, it is important to use the suggestive methods of therapy and training of patients. In patients, who are scheduled for surgical operation due to ischemic heart disease, a pre-rehabilitation with an individual approach is necessary.
