Kiwi, don't forget your post# 60465 on last Friday evening! That post was a good find showing:

"Three behaviors were included for the study: smoking cessation, healthy eating and physical exercise. Out of 7,519 patients surveyed in 17 countries, just 4.3 percent of participants improved their habits in all three areas, more than 30 percent made two lifestyle changes and more than 47 percent changed at least one lifestyle behavior to better their health.

Dr. Mark Friedman, a cardiologist at the SSM Heart Institute, said changing one’s lifestyle can be very difficult."

As in quote above, that study only showed minimal lifestyle changes after a heart attack, involved over 7,500 patients, and was published April 2015 in NEJM. A good sized study in first rate journal.
The study you post today showed quite dramatic lifestyle changes following a heart attack but only involved 493 patients and was published 38 years ago! I believe patients are less likely to do what Doc tells them today than they were in 1977.
I complement you on your motivation and knowledge of CV disease with your family history.
