Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work My name is Anthony Hinson. I am a dual enrolled student at the Collegiate School Panama City. I was born in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. I wish to become a doctor in the future and work in a cardio specialty such as cardiology. I have 40-50 hours of shadowing specialties including cardiothoracic surgery, orthopedic surgery, pulmonology, and anesthesia. I have around 150 hours of volunteering at Ascension Sacred heart. My hobbies include jiujitsu, sea scouts, and weightlifting. Poster Title Abstract This study presents a literature review examining long-term adherence to lifestyle and medical recommendations following cardiac surgery. While surgical procedures often improve immediate health outcomes, long-term recovery largely depends on patients maintaining recommended behaviors such as regular physical activity, medication adherence, and heart-healthy dietary practices. However, many patients struggle to sustain these changes after the initial recovery period. Peer-reviewed clinical studies and scholarly literature were analyzed to identify common barriers to adherence and trends in patient behavior during long-term recovery. The reviewed research highlights several key factors influencing adherence, including patient motivation, psychological well-being, physical limitations during recovery, access to cardiac rehabilitation programs, and the level of social support available to patients. By synthesizing existing research, this review aims to better understand the challenges patients face in maintaining recovery behaviors after cardiac surgery. Identifying these patterns may help inform improved post-surgical support strategies, patient education efforts, and healthcare interventions designed to promote sustained recovery and better long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
