And statistical analysis was conducted with Epidata 3.1 and SPSS 24.0.

According to the multivariate regression analysis, age, educational level, personal monthly income, length of illness and the number of complicated chronic diseases were the major influencing factors of resourcefulness level of CHD patients (P<0.01) .
