Key result
Age ≥65 is linked to ~618% higher odds of impaired QoL following MI.
Why the study?
Patients' quality of life after myocardial infarction and angina pectoris and its changes over time remain incompletely characterized.
Cross-Sectional (n=351)
Odds Ratio: 7.18 (95% CI 5.74–8.97)
p-value: p=<0.001
Quality of life is significantly impaired in older patients (≥65 years) following myocardial infarction or angina pectoris.
No age difference seen between MI and AP; cross-sectional data leave open whether disease type affects QoL.
The objective of the current study is to compare patients' Quality of life with myocardial infarction (MI) and angina pectoris. In a cross-sectional study, 351 people who had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease in 2021 were selected. The QoL, SF-36, and information sheet were employed in this research. Univariate and bivariate binary Logistic Regression was used to analyse the data. Preliminary results show that concerning age, the average was in the AP group and the MI group (40.5 ± 0.2), (52.6 ± 0.3), respectively. Women constituted the highest percentage (57%) in the two groups. Most of the study participants have low education (57%) and are married (92%). In the invariable logistic regression analysis, ORs were higher among patients belonging to the age group ≥ 65 in the AP (OR, 4.11; 95% CI, (2.59–4.14); P= 0.001) and the MI group (OR, 7.18; 95% CI, (5.74–8.97); P< 0.001). Patients' Quality of life suffers significantly after a cardiac attack, particularly in the early stages of recovery. While significant life improvements have been made over time, physicians working with cardiac patients face difficulty due to residual discomfort after a year's follow-up.

Mahmood et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction and angina pectoris) (n=351). Age ≥ 65 years vs. Age < 65 years was evaluated on Quality of life impairment (OR 7.18, 95% CI 5.74-8.97, p=<0.001). Older age (≥ 65 years) was associated with significantly worse quality of life in patients with angina pectoris (OR 4.11; 95% CI 2.59-4.14) and myocardial infarction (OR 7.18; 95% CI 5.74-8.97).
