Abstrakt		The objective of this research was to simultaneously compare profiles of some traditional and psychological risk factors in the following groups of cases and controls: a group of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) patients involved in a structured preventive programme, a group of IHD patient controls without the prevention, and a group of controls without both IHD and the prevention. In the former, the preventive programme consisted of health education and physical exercise under supervision of a physician. The comparison of the three groups showed that the group involved in the preventive programme showed better outcomes on a majority of the tested traditional risk factors compared to the IHD group without the preventive programme and almost as good as the control group without IHD. Somewhat less striking differences were obtained for the psychological risk factors. It was concluded that the preventive programme is sufficiently effective in relation to some traditional IHD risk factors. On the other hand, the current work should be coupled with a structured psychological treatment to tackle also the psychological proneness to IHD.
