The article familiarises readers with the results of the research grant of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia at České Budějovice. The goal of this grant was to map the issues of the life style of patients, incl. life satisfaction, who suffer from ischemic heart disease. Patients from the Svaz postižených civilizačními chorobami (Association of persons affected by civilisation diseases) of the Region of South Bohemia were addressed (n = 170). Qualitative-quantitative research strategy was used for the research purpose, with the help of the technique of semi-standardised interview and questionnaire technique. Semi-standardised interviews were implemented in cooperation with the clients of the cardio club at České Budějovice (n = 10). The questionnaire technique was used to map the area of alimentation and alimentation habits, observance of physical activity and the area of smoker habits on a considerably big sample of patients suffering from ICHS (n = 170). The results show that those patients are informed on healthy life style, on observance of regimen measures related to ischemic heart disease and that they observe those measures and are satisfied in life.
