Awareness of Warning Symptoms of Heart Disease and Stroke: Results of a Follow-up Study of the Chinese Canadian Cardiovascular Health Project
Our original pilot study in 2008 demonstrated a poor degree of awareness of heart disease and stroke among Chinese Canadians, warranting an updated survey of their knowledge. We sought to determine the current degree of knowledge of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, among ethnic Chinese resi...

| description | Our original pilot study in 2008 demonstrated a poor degree of awareness of heart disease and stroke among Chinese Canadians, warranting an updated survey of their knowledge. We sought to determine the current degree of knowledge of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, among ethnic Chinese residents of Canada.
A 35-question online survey was conducted in the fall of 2017 among 1001 Chinese Canadians (aged ≥ 18 years) in the greater Toronto area (n = 501) and Vancouver (n = 500). Knowledge of heart disease and stroke, such as signs and symptoms of stroke and heart attack, health habits, and initial response to a cardiovascular emergency were assessed.
A total of 52.0% of the respondents were female, and 46.3% were aged |

Knowledge of heart disease and stroke, such as signs and symptoms of stroke and heart attack, health habits, and initial response to a cardiovascular emergency were assessed.
A total of 52.0% of the respondents were female, and 46.3% were aged <45 years. A total of 40.1% spoke Cantonese, and 23.7% spoke Mandarin; 79.5% were immigrants, and 31% had lived in Canada < 10 years. A total of 85% identified at least one heart attack symptom, and 80% identified at least one stroke symptom; 86.2% indicated that they would call 911 if experiencing a heart attack or stroke. Internet use was positively associated with the ability to identify a greater number of heart attack and stroke symptoms, compared to the number among non–Internet users (P < 0.001). Women were 14% more likely to overlook gender as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
This study found that in 2017, compared to 2008, awareness of symptoms of heart disease and stroke improved among Chinese Canadians residing in Toronto and Vancouver.
Dans le cadre d’une première étude pilote menée en 2008, nous avions montré que les Canadiens d’origine chinoise connaissaient si mal les maladies cœur et l’accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) qu’une enquête de suivi de leurs connaissances s’imposait. Nous avons donc entrepris d’évaluer les connaissances actuelles des maladies cardiovasculaires, y compris l’AVC, chez les résidents canadiens d’origine chinoise.
Un sondage en ligne comprenant 35 questions a été effectué à l’automne 2017 auprès de 1 001 Canadiens d’origine chinoise (âgés de 18 ans ou plus) de la région du Grand Toronto (n = 501) et de Vancouver (n = 500). Les connaissances relatives aux maladies cœur et à l’AVC, notamment les signes et symptômes d’AVC et de crise cardiaque, les saines habitudes de vie et la première chose à faire en cas d’urgence cardiovasculaire, ont été évaluées.
Au total, 52,0 % des répondants étaient des femmes, et 46,3 % étaient âgés de moins de 45 ans; 40,1 % parlaient cantonnais et 23,7 %, mandarin; 79,5 % étaient des immigrants, et 31 % vivaient au Canada depuis moins de 10 ans. Au total, 85 % des répondants connaissaient au moins un symptôme de crise cardiaque et 80 %, au moins un symptôme d’AVC; 86,2 % ont indiqué qu’ils composeraient le 9-1-1 s’ils subissaient une crise cardiaque ou un AVC. Les répondants qui utilisaient l’Internet étaient capables de reconnaître un plus grand nombre de symptômes de crise cardiaque et d’AVC que les répondants qui n’utilisaient pas l’Internet (p < 0,001). Les femmes avaient 14 % plus de chances de ne pas tenir compte du sexe comme facteur de risque de maladie cardiovasculaire.
L’étude a révélé qu’en 2017, comparativement à 2008, la connaissance des symptômes de maladie cœur et d’AVC s’est améliorée chez les Canadiens d’origine chinoise vivant à Toronto et à Vancouver.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2589-790X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2589-790X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.cjco.2021.01.014</identifier><identifier>PMID: 34169253</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Elsevier Inc</publisher><subject>Original</subject><ispartof>CJC open (Online), 2021-06, Vol.3 (6), p.741-750</ispartof><rights>2021 The Authors</rights><rights>2021 The Authors.</rights><rights>2021 The Authors 2021</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c455t-897b972e0707695f53123e0827331fa6aaac715fddc8317af80b5c899fecea6b3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c455t-897b972e0707695f53123e0827331fa6aaac715fddc8317af80b5c899fecea6b3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8209403/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8209403/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,315,733,786,790,891,27957,27958,53827,53829</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34169253$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Lee, Calvin</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chow, Chi-Ming</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yan, Andrew T.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Moe, Gordon W.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tu, Jack V.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chu, Joseph Y.</creatorcontrib><title>Awareness of Warning Symptoms of Heart Disease and Stroke: Results of a Follow-up Study of the Chinese Canadian Cardiovascular Health Project</title><title>CJC open (Online)</title><addtitle>CJC Open</addtitle><description>Our original pilot study in 2008 demonstrated a poor degree of awareness of heart disease and stroke among Chinese Canadians, warranting an updated survey of their knowledge.
