“…However, several prior studies have demonstrated cardiovascular disease has a significant effect on patient-reported quality of life. 28,29 In conclusion, complications after cardiac operation continue to negatively influence patient quality of life 1 year after surgery. Use of the NIH-PROMIS showed prolonged ventilation, renal failure, stroke, and composite major morbidity have the largest impact on 1-year PROs.…”

“…Certain psychological factors, such as poor perceived health (De Smedt et al, ; Sajobi et al, ) and a lack of social support (Valtorta, Kanaan, Gilbody, Ronzi, & Hanratty, ; Xia & Li, ), are evidently associated with the prognosis of CHD (De Smedt et al, ; Sajobi et al, ; Valtorta et al, ). Perceived health reflects an individual's overall and subjective perceptions of his or her own health status, which include physical and psychological aspects (De Smedt et al, ).…”

AimTo test the hypothetical model of adherence to treatment among patients with coronary disease after percutaneous coronary intervention.DesignA descriptive, explanatory, cross‐sectional survey.MethodsThe study was conducted in 2013 with 416 patients in five hospitals in Finland. The adherence of patients with chronic disease instrument, the adherence visual analogue scale, the social support for people with coronary heart disease instrument, the EuroQoL five‐dimensional scale and EuroQoL visual analogue scale were used. The data were analysed using descriptive statistic. The hypothetical model was tested using structural equation modelling.ResultsThe hypothetical model explained 30% of perceived adherence to treatment. Structural equation modelling confirmed that motivation, support from physicians and next of kin had direct associations with adherence. Indirectly, informational support, results of care, perceived health, anxiety and depression were associated with adherence. The background variables associated with adherence were gender, relationship, physical activity, consumption of vegetables and consumption of alcohol.

Summary Background: There is a relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in healthy people and in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The purpose of this study was to determine whether this relationship between sports or recreational physical activity levels and HRQL has a dose-response gradient in patients with IHD. Methods: Using one generic and three IHD-specific HRQL questionnaires, differences in HRQL scores (adjusted for confounders) were determined for physically a) inactive vs. active patients and b) inactive vs. patients being active 1–2, 3–5, or >5 times per week. Results: Data were provided by 6143 IHD-patients (angina: N = 2033; myocardial infarction: N = 2266; ischemic heart failure: N = 1844). Regardless of diagnosis or instrument used, when patients were dichotomized as either inactive or active, the latter reported throughout higher physical and emotional HRQL (all p < 0.001; d = 0.25–0.70). When categorized by physical activity levels, there was a positive HRQL dose-response gradient by increasing levels of physical activity that was most marked between inactive patients and those being active 1–2 times per week (63 82%). Conclusions: Using generic and IHD-specific HRQL questionnaires, there seems to be an overall dose-dependent gradient betweenincreasing levels of sports or recreational physical activity and higher HRQL in patients with angina, myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart failure. The greatest bang for the public health buck still lies on putting all the effort in changing sedentary lifestyle to at least a moderate active one (1–2 times per week), in particular in cardiac rehabilitation settings.

The use of HeartQoL in patients with coronary heart disease: Association with risk factors and European reference values. The EUROASPIRE IV study of the European Society of Cardiology

Abstract: HeartQoL scores were associated with patients' coronary risk profile. The reference values may help other researchers to interpret HeartQoL scores. Further research should focus on the minimal important difference needed to evaluate the effect of therapies and lifestyle changes.
