Does coronary artery bypass grafting improve quality of life over 12 months in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Does coronary artery bypass grafting improve quality of life over 12 months in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
In patients with acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with significant improvements in both physical and mental components of quality of life over a 12-month follow-up period.
Mostly nonsignificant QoL differences post-ACS surgery should not alter practice; leaves open age/gender effects in larger cohorts.
Results of quality of life in 158 patients who underwent cardiac surgery due to the acute coronary syndrome are presented. Quality of life was assessed by using the SF-36 questionnaire. Groups were formed by age and by gender. It was revealed there are more patients with average and increased the quality of life in a group with surgical revascularization. Results were statistically insignificant in the age group up to 65 years and over 65 years of age, except the MH (p=0,02). Statistically significant difference was registered in RE indicator (p=0, 02) when comparing men and women physical and mental health. A statistically significant difference (p<0,001) in all indicators was registered in both age groups during 1 and 6 months, 1 and 12 months. There is no statistically significant difference between people with secondary and higher education.
