“…Others studies [38,39,[41][42][43] found similar results. Spertus et al (2006) showed that incidence of angina pectoris in patients before performing the PCI is important predicative factor of the HRQL after the PCI, as well as the age and the physical function.…”

“…Patients who had undergone PCI had significantly faster recovery in the early postinfarction period, higher reduced of chest pains and a higher HRQL compared with patients who were treated with thrombolytic therapy [38,39,[41][42][43]. Spertus et al (2003) believes that one of the most common indication for implementation of percutaneous coronary reperfusion is to improve the HRQL of patients.…”

Objective-To examine the relationship between cardiac self-efficacy and health status, including symptom burden, physical limitation, quality of life, and overall health among outpatients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD). We hypothesized that lower self-efficacy would predict worse health status, independent of CHD severity and depression.Methods-We performed a cross-sectional study of 1024 outpatients with CHD, who were recruited between 2000 and 2002 for the Heart and Soul Study. We administered a validated measure of cardiac self-efficacy, assessed cardiac function using exercise treadmill testing with stress echocardiography, and measured depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire. Health status outcomes (symptom burden, physical limitation, and quality of life) were assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire, and overall health was measured as fair or poor (versus good, very good, or excellent).Results-After adjustment for CHD severity and depressive symptoms, each standard deviation (4.5-point) decrease in self-efficacy score was independently associated with greater symptom burden (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.1, p = .001), greater physical limitation (OR = 1.8, p < .0001), worse quality of life (OR = 1.6, p < .0001), and worse overall health (OR = 1.9, p < .0001). Depressive symptoms and poor treadmill exercise capacity were also associated with poor health status, but left ventricular ejection fraction and ischemia were not.Conclusions-Among patients with CHD, low cardiac self-efficacy is associated with poor health status, independent of CHD severity and depressive symptoms. Further study should examine if selfefficacy constitutes a useful target for cardiovascular disease management interventions.

“…Studies of such patients have examined the contribution of a wide range of sociodemographic, vocational, and medical variables to these patients’ reemployment. A survey of empirical studies of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of employment after an AMI, published between 1988 and 2003, uncovered 46 investigations [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48]. An examination of these investigations revealed the following limitations: (1) most studies involved selected samples of participants (e.g., randomized intervention studies), (2) most studies examined employment within the first year after AMI, (3) most studies did not distinguish between employment status, resumption of employment, and maintenance of employment, (4) few studies investigated long-term maintenance of employment after AMI, (5) few studies were longitudinal community cohort studies, and (6) most studies included participants who had reached an age at which employment is no longer central.…”

In a community cohort of 833 women and men aged <60 years, employed at the time of a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the relation of sociodemographic, vocational, and medical variables to the following three aspects of employment was investigated longitudinally: resumption of employment anytime within 5 years after AMI, resumption of employment within 3 months of the AMI, and maintenance of employment 5 years after AMI. Different sets of characteristics of persons with a first AMI were related to the different criteria of employment. Only sociodemographic and vocational variables were related to early resumption of employment, whereas maintenance of employment 5 years after AMI was influenced by both medical and nonmedical variables. These results support the importance of examining different aspects of resumption and maintenance of employment after AMI. They also suggest that early resumption of employment after AMI and employment anytime 5 years after AMI are more a function of the sociodemographic and vocational characteristics of the person with the AMI than of that person’s medical condition, whereas long-term maintenance of employment after an AMI is also related to the person’s medical condition.
