Why the study?

Health-related quality of life data after PCI are scarce from low- and middle-income countries, where differing sociodemographics and sociocultural contexts may influence outcomes.

Population

241 patients aged 20-60 years after primary PCI at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan

Design

Cross-sectional descriptive study

Follow-up

At least 6 months

Implication

Post-PCI HRQOL data from LMIC remain limited; this cross-sectional study leaves open socio-cultural influences on outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

241 patients aged 20-60 years who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at least six months ago at a rural satellite center in Pakistan. Mean age 53.38 years, 73.4% male. Excluded: prior cardiac surgery, chronic kidney disease, and congenital disease.

Intervention

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), mostly via radial route, performed within 90 minutes of hospital arrival and 24 hours of chest pain onset.

Outcome

Heart-related quality of life assessed using the HeartQol questionnaire at six months post-PCI.patient reported

The majority of patients in a rural Pakistani population reported excellent health-related quality of life six months after undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
