The article “The Effect of Telephone Support Interventions on Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Patient Outcomes during Cardiac Rehabilitation” entails the fact, causes and even the possible way of getting Coronary Artery Disease. Telephone Support Intervention was defined as one of the possible prevention for the likelihood of having an illness. Studies were done by certain people and analyzed the comparison of telephone follow up with the usual care. It is about the cardiac analysis of the patient receiving structured telephone support compared to receiving usual care alone. Structured telephone support when it comes to mortality and hospitalization is just by the reduction of the percentage of having Coronary Artery Disease. In the study conducted, primary outcome was all cause of hospitalization while secondary outcomes was all cause of mortality including depression, anxiety and even smoking cessation, reducing systolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels where the risk of cardiac illness was taken. There are people delivering this kind of intervention to patients. The clinician with nurses are the most commonly reported delivery personnel, secondly are the exercise specialist, they are focused primarily on exercise and physical capacity that deals with lowering cholesterol level. Pharmacist or dietician however focuses on lipid control. As a nursing student, we know that we should always prioritize first the care to be rendered to patients. Telephone Support Intervention/Telemedicine is just a help from the health professionals where the patient is being educate and advised. LIfestyle is a big factor in aiding or preventing Coronary Artery Disease like daily exercise and diet. Since Telemedicine helps the patient to reduce depression, anxiety and fear that are risk of cardiac illness and mostly less hospitalization of patient, it is our responsibility to educate and help the client to understand that this Telemedicine is just a support for them but then the usual care and seeking medical advice is most recommended.
