Key result
In patients with stable coronary artery disease, health-related quality of life was significantly correlated with angina severity but showed no significant association with the extent of myocardial ischaemia on perfusion imaging.
Why the study?
Angina pectoris unfavorably impacts quality of life, prompting evaluation of health-related quality of life in stable coronary artery disease and its relationships with risk factors, angina severity, and ischaemic burden on SPECT-MPI.
Does the extent of myocardial ischemia on SPECT-MPI correlate with health-related quality of life in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
No
Does the extent of myocardial ischemia on SPECT-MPI correlate with health-related quality of life in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
In patients with stable coronary artery disease, health-related quality of life correlates significantly with angina severity but not with the objectively measured extent of myocardial ischemia on SPECT-MPI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support routine HRQoL screening in SCAD; leaves open whether links to CCS class or ischaemia are causal.
Nikolaidou et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Stable Coronary Artery Disease (n=100). Extent of myocardial ischaemia on SPECT-MPI vs. No or small amount of ischaemia was evaluated on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessed by EQ-5D-3L and SF-36v2. In patients with stable coronary artery disease, health-related quality of life was significantly correlated with angina severity but showed no significant association with the extent of myocardial ischaemia on perfusion imaging.
