Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation was associated with a moderate quality of life in 71.1% and a good quality of life in 7.8% of patients aged 45 to 60 with myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine the impact of cardiac rehabilitation on cardiac abnormalities and associated malfunctions, and to promote awareness and facilitation of cardiac rehabilitation.
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction?
Cross-Sectional (n=90)
Yes
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction?
In a cross-sectional study of post-MI patients in Pakistan, participation in cardiac rehabilitation was associated with moderate to good quality of life in nearly 80% of participants.

Observational CR data in MI patients remain hypothesis-generating; randomized trials needed before practice change.
Myocardial Infarction (MI) renowned as “Heart attack” is of 2 main categories ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) which is symptomatic and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) with no clear symptoms, killing silently. Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is a multidimensional standard of patient care individually tailored to specific needs of participants. Objective: To find out the impact of CR on cardiac abnormalities and associated malfunctions and promote awareness and facilitation of CR. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done via “The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire” (MLHFQ). Data was collected from 90 cardiac patients. Results: According to MLHFQ, 7.8% of the population had good QOL, 71.1% had moderate QOL, and 21.1% had poor QOL from age 45 to 60 with MI. Conclusion: 71.1% of total participants with MI who followed CR observed enhanced energy levels, managed symptoms effectively, prevented progression, and boosted up confidence level hence results showed positive impact of rehabilitation. Factor affected results were age, cooperation, duration of diagnosis before participating in CR and duration of rehabilitation. Whereas, it had almost similar impact for both male and female of age 45 to 60.

Qayyum et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Myocardial Infarction (n=90). Cardiac Rehabilitation was evaluated on Quality of Life (QOL) assessed via MLHFQ. Cardiac rehabilitation was associated with a moderate quality of life in 71.1% and a good quality of life in 7.8% of patients aged 45 to 60 with myocardial infarction.
