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.

The study showed a statistically significant relationship between the age of the nurse and their knowledge of the complications of cardiac catheterization (P=0.05). There is no statistically significant relationship between the gender of the nurses, education level, years of service in the nursing field, and experience. The study concluded that the sample percentage is high, and the result was is not acceptable for the level of knowledge regarding cardiac catheterization risk factors. The study recommended that nurses participate in training courses to improve nursing care provided to the patient and his family during cardiac catheterization.
