Background of the study: Myocardial infarction is one of the most common complications associated with CEA. This is most likely related to the frequent concurrent occurrence of coronary and carotid atherosclerotic disease. The reported general incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction after CEA is approximately 1% to 4%.98 Operative stress from surgery in addition to perioperative hypertension, increased vascular volume, tachycardia, and the use of intraoperative barbiturates may be predisposing factors. Careful preoperative cardiac evaluation and strict attention to intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic variables and cardiac monitoring help minimize perioperative cardiac morbidity. Aim: the aim of study was to assess the existing knowledge regarding Myocardial infarction and its prevention among the relatives of patients attending Diabetic clinic. Methodology: The research design selected for this study was pre-experimental one pre-test -post-test design. The sample size comprises of 30 relatives of patients attending Diabetic clinic at BVV sangha’s HSK Hospital and research centre, Bagalkot. The sampling technique adopted for this study will be convenient sampling technique. In the present study the data will be collected by using Structured closed ended Questionnaire, the data analysis done by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency distribution, percentage, mean, mean percentage, Standard Deviation, paired ‘t’ test and Chi-square test. Result: The finding revealed In the area of knowledge on “Prevention”, pre-test mean knowledge score was 1.01 with SD ±3.23 which is 14% of total score where as post-test mean knowledge score was 3.01 with SD ±4.3 which is 61.4% of total score. The effectiveness of STP on Prevention, mean score was 2.37 with SD ±1.02 which is 47.4% of total score and As the calculated t value (24.17) was much higher than table ‘t’ value (2.045) the hypothesis: H1 -there is a significant difference ...
