Abstract

Background: Quality of life (QoL) has been popularly used in assessment of health state among coronary artery disease patients undergone both medical and surgical therapies. Objectives: to evaluate QoL and associated factors among post-MI patients following up at University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City. Materials and methods: the cross-sectional study was conducted on 146 participants diagnosed and treated with acute MI and continued following up at Examination Ward in University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City from April 1st 2017 to June 30th 2017. Results: the low domains of role limitation due to physical functioning and general health (RP: 34.8±22.7 and GH: 33.2±18.5) showed patient’ self-assessment about impacted health state. Conclusion: The post MI patients got the perception of limited physical functioning regarding daily activities. It is necessary to engage the MI survivors in rehabilitation programs.
