Abstract:
Objective: The main purpose of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) is to improve patients' quality of life.Many studies focus on the efficacy of PCI for angina relief,but rarely on the improvement of quality of life after PCI.We aim to investigate the quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) 2 years after coronary stent implantation.Methods: A total of 457 CHD patients underwent coronary stent implantation,their quality of life investigated with The Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaires(SF-36) before and 2 years after the operation.Results: The results of various dimensions of SF-36 before and 2 years after the operation were as follows: physical function(PF)(56.47?26.05 vs 68.20 ? 20.18,P 0.05).Conclusion: Coronary stent implantation could significantly improve the long-term(2-year) quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease.
