Implication

Descriptive survey assessed understanding of heart attack symptoms and cardiovascular disease risk factors among rural participants, highlighting knowledge gaps.

Key Points

More than 60% of participants correctly identified common heart attack symptoms, but awareness of women's differential symptoms was low.
Overall, 82 participants had high blood pressure, yet only 35.55% were on medication for it, indicating poor management of this risk factor.
Cholesterol was identified as a risk factor by about 60% of participants, though knowledge of diabetes's link to heart attack risk was lower at 47%.
Despite existing community resources, significant improvements are needed in knowledge regarding cardiovascular disease symptoms and risk factors.
