“…15) In patients who do not have angina before surgery, the QOL before CABG is generally good, so there are conditions for its deterioration after the intervention. We have already shown that serious angina is an independent predictor of QOL improvement after 6 months of CABG, 13) and now for the first time we report that it remains the most powerful predictor of improvements even 2 years after the intervention. 13) The absence of hereditary load was an independent predictor of QOL improvement in the energy section.…”

The presence of close relatives who had or have the coronary artery disease, like sudden cardiac death of a father, mother, brother, or some other very close relative, has a bad influence to the life energy in patients after 2 years of coronary artery bypass.…”

“…There is a strong positive correlation between the severity of angina pectoris and QOL worsening. 13,14) Since most of the patients after the surgery were relieved of angina difficulties, the greatest improvement is registered at those who preoperatively had a high degree of angina. This is consistent with findings of other authors who report that significantly worsened QOL is the predictor of its improvement after CABG.…”

PurposePercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common invasive procedure for the treatment of coronary artery diseases. Long-term cognitive functioning after PCI and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQL) and psychological factors is relatively unknown. The aim of this study is to examine whether perceived cognitive functioning during the year after PCI is associated with HRQL over this time period, and whether mood, fatigue, and age are associated with changes in perceived cognition and HRQL.MethodsPatients undergoing PCI (n = 384, 79% male, mean age = 63, SD = 10) were recruited in the observational Tilburg Health Outcome Registry of Emotional Stress after Coronary Intervention (THORESCI) cohort study. Perceived concentration and attention problems, HRQL, mood, and fatigue were assessed at baseline, at 1-month and 12-month follow-up.ResultsGeneral linear mixed modeling analysis showed that across time, between- and within-subject differences in perceived concentration problems were associated with a reduced HRQL in all domains independent of clinical and demographic covariates. Only a part of this association could be explained by negative mood, fatigue, and older age. Similar findings were found for between-subject differences in perceived attention problems.ConclusionsBetween-subject differences and within-subject changes in perceived cognition in PCI patients were strongly associated with HRQL across time, such that poorer perceived cognition was associated with poorer HRQL, independent of demographic and clinical variables. Most of the associations were also independent of mood and fatigue. The results should increase the awareness of clinicians for the role of cognition in the cardiac rehabilitation and recovery post-PCI.
