“…During the first month after the AMI patients are very vulnerabile physically, mentally and emotionally [10]. According to the results of investigations it was determined that HRQL among the patients was disordered and lower and the main reason for that was the presence of the chest pain or discomfort and the lowering of the overall physical function [11][12][13].…”

“…The overall quality of life (QL) comprises all factors which influence on someones health and health-related quality of life (HRQL) comprises only those factors which are the part of someone's health [3,4]. AMI has negative consequences on the HRQL of the patients and that leads to the lowering of their HRQL even several years after the AMI [6][7][8][9].During the first month after the AMI patients are very vulnerabile physically, mentally and emotionally [10].

“…Acute coronary syndrome refers to a spectrum of unstable coronary artery disease from unstable angina to transmural myocardial infarction and it is an umbrella term for situations where the blood supplied to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked (American Heart Association, 2015). Acute coronary syndrome has been described as an extremely traumatic cardiac event (Herber et al, 2012) and the aftermath has been found to influence physical and psychosocial well-being for a significant time period (Kristofferzon et al, 2005).…”

Funding statementNo external funding.Page 3  Evidence has suggested the effects of self-management interventions on rehabilitation and recovery across a variety of chronic conditions. However, to date less is known about the extent of the literature on self-management for individuals following an acute cardiac event. Despite widespread use of the term 'self-management' and growing interest in the concept, defining how self-management is manifested in terms of observable behaviours remains challenging in the field of health and social care. What this paper adds? Evidence showed varying effects of the self-management interventions among people following acute coronary syndrome when compared with usual care.Most studies in this review were conducted in western countries and quantitative studies were UK centric. Therefore, more research is needed to explore self-management among people following acute coronary syndrome within different health care contexts.

“…Beyond marital status, we do not have sufficient detail to further describe patients' social support where added care-provider networks may exist. 30,31,35 Considering followup, 15 months may not be sufficient time to observe significant effects of marital status on CV risk following MI, with other reports noting significant effects at 3 years among patients with CVD and 10 years among patients with hyperlipidemia, respectively. 9,10 Moreover, we did not account for recurrent CV events in our analysis, and this may underestimate the total burden of MI and stroke.…”

“…In married vs unmarried men and women, past studies highlighted differences in outcomes following an MI. 21,24,25,[29][30][31] It was observed that women receive less informal caregiver support than do men, with worse outcomes, 1 to 12 months following an MI. 25 However, in contrast with many of the prior studies that controlled simply for certain socioeconomic determinants of health, such as income and education, we additionally adjusted for differences in baseline comorbidities that may have attenuated any association with marital status.…”

While divorced or living alone, patients with stable cardiovascular disease are at increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events. The importance of marital status following a myocardial infarction (MI) is less clear. We hypothesized that marital status may affect cardiovascular outcomes following MI. We analyzed outcomes among patients with MI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention from the Canadian Observational Antiplatelet Study (COAPT).Marital status was categorized into 3 groups: married/common-law patients living together; never married; and divorced, separated, or widowed patients. Patients were followed for 15 months and our primary outcome was the occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), defined as a composite of mortality, repeat acute MI, stroke, or urgent coronary revascularization. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed, with married/common-law patients living together considered the reference group. Among 2100 patients included in analyses, 1519 (72.3%) were married/common-law patients living together, 358 (17.1%) were separated/divorced/widowed, and 223 (10.6%) patients were never married.Dual antiplatelet therapy use after 15 months was similar across groups (75.4%, 77.8%, and 73.6%, respectively). The risk of MACE after 15 months was similar among married patients living together (12.7%; referent) compared with patients who were never married (13.9%; adjusted odds ratio: 1.09, 95% confidence interval: 0.58-2.07, P = 0.79) and patients separated/divorced/widowed (14.3%; adjusted odds ratio: 0.71, 95% confidence interval: 0.40-1.25, P = 0.23). Similarly, the risk of individual endpoints, including mortality, was similar across the 3 groups. Among patients stabilized following an MI, we found no association between marital status and 15-month outcomes.
