Why the study?
Does revascularisation improve health-related quality of life 3 months after an acute coronary syndrome?
Does revascularisation improve health-related quality of life 3 months after an acute coronary syndrome?
Revascularization improves the physical component of quality of life 3 months post-ACS, though younger, lower-risk patients may experience greater perceived physical impairment.
The dimensions most affected at three months after an acute coronary episode were those related to the physical component. Undergoing revascularisation improved the PCS in patients, but in the younger patients and those without personal antecedents or risk factors, the PCS was affected more, perhaps due to greater expectations for recovery in these patients.
