Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death globally, with rising prevalence due to factors such as urbanization, aging populations, and lifestyle habits. It is influenced by both modifiable risk factors (unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use) and non-modifiable factors (age, genetics, family history). Despite advancements in medical management, poor adherence to treatment and lack of awareness about lifestyle changes continue to impact patient outcomes. Lifestyle modification, including nutritional adjustments, regular exercise, stress reduction, and smoking cessation, is essential for CVD prevention and management. This study assesses the knowledge and attitude of cardiac patients regarding lifestyle modifications in selected hospitals of Jaipur and explores their association with demographic variables. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational programs to improve awareness and encourage behavioural changes. The aim of the study is to develop an information booklet to educate cardiac patients on adopting sustainable lifestyle modifications for better cardiovascular health.
