“…In line with the literature, our analyses revealed worse EQ-5D results in females compared to males. [22][23][24][25][26][27] Despite the general consensus regarding worse self-perceived health outcomes in females, both in the general population as well as in coronary patients, research on the cause of this finding is still ongoing. Some argue that women might perceive symptoms in a different way.…”

CHD has a negative influence on patient's self-reported health status, both the EQ-VAS as well as the EQ-5D dimensions (with the exception of self-care in both genders and pain/discomfort in males) were impaired. The relative impairment was the greatest in female patients and the differences in the proportion of reported problems diminished with increasing age. The EQ-5D instrument is appropriate in capturing problems related to anxiety/depression, pain/discomfort, mobility and usual activities. Within clinical practice, particular attention should be given to females and younger CHD patients.

“…It covers physical functioning (PF) -10 items, role limitations caused by physical problems (RP) -4 items, bodily pain (BP) -2 items, general health (GH) -6 items, vitality (V) -4 items, social functioning (SF) -2 items, role limitations caused by emotional problems (RE) -3 items and general mental health (MH) -5 items. For each of the 8 dimensions, the items are coded, aggregated and transformed to a scale ranging from 0 (the worst state of health for that dimension) to 100 which represent the best state of health (Dueñas, Salazar, Ojeda, & Failde, 2012). It also provides a summary of 2 components representing the physical and mental wellbeing which are the physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS…”

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the best treatment option for coronary heart disease. It improves survival and quality of life (QOL) for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and those with more advanced coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction, or diabetes. The purpose of this study is to measure the QOL among patients after CABG surgery and its associated factors. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in a cardiothoracic centre in Malaysia involving 184 respondents. A pretested, self-administered questionnaire which included the validated SF-36 Health Survey was filled by respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Non parametric test was used to identify factors associated with QOL among the respondents. Significance level was set at 0.05. Result:The total number of respondents was 184 with response rate of 100%. From the analysis, the mean(SD) score of the eight domains of SF-36 ranges between 58.8(25.4) and 82.7(23.5), where the lowest score was physical functioning domain while the highest score was bodily pain and social functioning domain. The mean(SD) age of respondents was 59. 86(8.17). Majority of respondents were male (82.6%), Malay (43.5%), Muslims (45.1%), married (85.9%), received minimal primary education (96.7%) and retired/unemployed (48.9%). Age, gender, religion, educational level and employment status, showed to have significant association with at least one domain of QOL including physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS) with statistical significant set at P<0.05. Conclusion:Quality of life scores showed to be higher compared to coronary artery disease patients. Several sociodemographic characteristics (employed, married, high education level) were associated with good quality of life domains among the respondents.

“…Several variables related to patient's clinical evolution and history of disease have been shown to be related to HRQoL, with worse results among women, subjects with previous history of CHD, and those with another co-morbidity. 18 Morys et al assessed the quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease after myocardial infarction and with ischemic heart failure. 19 In patients after MI and with stable CAD anxiety can be reduced by cognitive behavioral therapy while patients with heart failure require long term support therapy to reduce the risk of depressive symptoms.…”

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The aim of the study was to determine assessment of risk factors and impact of patient counseling in health-related quality of life of the patient.Method: This was a prospective observational study conducted in the department of cardiology. A suitably designed standard SF-36 questionnaire was given to all patients enrolled in the study before and after counseling. All information relevant to the study were collected in suitably designed proforma from case records and discussions conducted with the patients and bystanders during ward rounds. Proper counseling was given to patients and bystanders and the score was analyzed using SAS descriptive analysis.Result: The most common risk factors encountered in the study are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, irregular exercise, smoking, alcoholism, obesity and family history. The health-related quality of life of the patients were assessed, a total of 67 patients QOL was improved after counseling and 27 patients with no improvement. We found that patient counseling was effective for majority of patients.Conclusions: We can conclude that the role of clinical pharmacist has a significant role in improving the health-related quality of life of patients through proper counseling. And more than half of the patients have a modifiable risk factor which can be managed through lifestyle modifications.
