dc.description.abstractBackground: HRQL is important in improving the quality of patient care. However, there is a paucity of data from low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC). Differences in socio-demographics and socio-cultural contexts may influence HRQOL. Therefore, this research was designed with the aim to explore the HRQOL in patients after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).Objective: The goal of the study was to evaluate the quality of life after six months of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention using HeartQol questionnaire at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.Method: This was a Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Patients between the ages of 20-60 years who underwent primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at least 6 months ago were inducted in the study. Coronary angiography was performed mostly through radial as preferred route. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, predisposing risk factors, procedural details, and quality of life. Heart related Quality of life was assessed using HeartQol questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS v.21.Results: A total of 241 patients participated in the study. Mean age of the patients was 53.37±11.07 years. On analysis of quality of life at six months, the median (IQR) HeartQol score was 31 (37-23) with majority of the patients, 84.22% (203) fall under the excellent score (>20).Conclusion: It is of enormous prognostic importance that the quality of life of patient is assessed on a regular basis after PCI. Our study shows that the majority of patients had improved quality of life at six months of PCI. Majority of patients were not bothered by mild symptoms. Further investigation needs to be done to validate these results.en_US
