Conclusion
This single-center KAP study on COVID-19 among cardiac patients who are
considered high risk was able to postulate a comprehensive evaluation.
The findings suggest that high-risk patients have decent knowledge
scores and an overall optimistic outlook on surviving the pandemic.
However, novel and far-reaching awareness programs are required for
patients who are less educated and reside in rural areas as they are
found to have lower KAP scores. Keeping in mind the probability of
upcoming waves in the near future, consistent enforcement of preventive
measures from healthcare agencies is crucial to surviving this worldwide
pandemic.
