ABSTRACT
Notwithstanding a decrease in the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases during the last decades, notable disparities in health outcomes depending on a patient´s socioeconomic position persist and are most visible in acute myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease. Education is a pivotal indicator of the socioeconomic position. Effects of the social determinants of health on the incidence, prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases were previously effectually investigated and shown to be inversely associated but evidence on non-fatal health outcomes such as heart failure, ability to return to work or rehospitalizations still remain insufficiently examined. We provide a literature review dealing with the impact that formal education has on non-fatal health outcomes including major adverse cardiovascular events, clinical outcomes, depression, use of cardiac rehabilitation, quality of life, self-perceived health and social participation after a myocardial infarction from a global and comprehensive perspective.
