| Abstrakt: | Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often part of standard treatment in patients presenting with coronary artery disease. Aim: To investigate changes in health-related quality of life in myocardial infarction patients one year after angioplasty intervention. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Greece. Patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous angioplasty were included in the study. Patients' quality of life was assessed immediately after the angioplasty, 6 and 12 months later. Quality of life was assessed with the questionnaire "MAC-NEW Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life". Results: Quality of life increased significantly in all patients regardless of their characteristics. Quality of life differed significantly at 6 months according to gender (men had higher values), comorbidity (patients with comorbidities had lower values), smoking (patients who smoked had higher values) and exercising (patients who exercised had higher values). Quality of life differed significantly at 12 months by gender (men had higher values), comorbidity (patients with comorbidities had lower values), and exercising (exercising patients had higher values). A positive correlation was found between the quality-of-life scores at three measurements. Conclusions: Patients after PCI showed better quality of life at 6- and 12-months follow-up. Assessing patients' quality of life after PCI is an important step for a holistic approach to patients whose physical and mental health are considered during the assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
