Abstract
Aim. To study the quality of life and how it is influenced by different factors in the long term after myocardial re-vascularisation in patients with coronary artery disease who had acute coronary syndrome during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods. We examined 658 patients with coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome (mean age 66.4 ± 4.3 years). Percutaneous coronary intervention (600 patients) and coronary artery bypass grafting with cardio-pulmonary bypass (58 patients) were performed. Six months after myocardial re-vascularisation, we assessed patients' quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire. We identified factors that affect the quality of life using multivariate regression analysis.
Results. After myocardial revascularisation, the patients had a reduced overall indicator of physical health (< 40 points). The overall indicator of psycho-emotional health was higher than physical (p < 0.002) but did not exceed 50 points. We noted the adverse effect of COVID-19 (regardless of disease severity) on the assessment. Also, COVID-19 was associated with increased anxiety. A history of concomitant diabetes mellitus, obesity, stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention had a negative effect on the overall indicators of physical and mental health.
Conclusion. Patients with coronary artery disease who had acute coronary syndrome after myocardial re-vascularisation are characterised by reduced indicators of physical and average indicators of mental health in the long term. COVID-19, regardless of disease severity, has a negative impact on patients' general state of health, social activity and emotional background. A history of diabetes mellitus, obesity, stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention adversely affects the physical and mental health indicators.
