Quality of Life in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease-Multicenter POLASPIRE II Study
Abstract
Background: The quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease is extremely important for their treatment. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life of patients with coronary artery disease, considering education and compliance with medical recommendations regarding lifestyle changes, as well as the presence of selected cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: The study involved 763 patients from 11 Polish cardiology centers. The presented material is part of the multicenter POLASPIRE II study. Patients completed a standardized questionnaire EuroQol 5D-5Lm. A medical interview was conducted with each patient. All patients had their body weight and height measured and BMI determined. Results: The quality of life of patients was better in men, younger people, those with lower body weight and those who followed preventive recommendations and intensified their physical activity. Most of the examined patients complied with the medical recommendations regarding lifestyle changes after a cardiac incident, but they mainly concerned dietary modifications. There was still a large group of patients who did not comply with the recommendations, e.g., regarding increasing physical activity. Conclusions: The assessment of quality of life depended on many factors, such as gender, body weight and compliance with medical recommendations. The health education of patients in the presented study group was not sufficient. Therefore, there is a need for better education regarding the benefits of following medical recommendations in terms of leading a healthy lifestyle, which consequently improves its quality and duration.
