Methods Patients with cardiovascular disease （the scope of this study included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, and peripheral vascular disease） diagnosed and treated in a hospital in Shanghai from February to October 2021 were selected as the research subjects to conduct a questionnaire survey on enthusiasm. The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the current status of enthusiasm in patients with cardiovascular disease, and univariate and multivariate analysis methods were used to analyze the influencing factors. Results A total of 386 patients completed the survey, including 235 males and 151 females, with an average age of （67.12±8.14） years. The average score of enthusiasm in patients with cardiovascular disease was （66.04±10.47）. Of the items on the scale, the score of “I can be responsible for managing my own health” was the highest, reaching （3.27±0.55）. The composition ratio of level 4 enthusiasm was the highest, with 201 cases, accounting for 52.07%. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the patients with cardiovascular disease who was male （β’=0.137）, with the active acquisition of relevant knowledge （β’=0.201）, high level of self-efficacy （β’=0.328）, and low degree of cardiovascular disease （β’=0.241） had higher enthusiasm. Conclusion The enthusiasm of patients with cardiovascular disease in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai is relatively high.
