“…The most common comorbidities were hypertension (56.15%) and diabetes (29.23%) among ACS patients. These results were similar to the studies conducted by Negi PC et al and Mohanan PP et al, Azmi et al 9,10,12 which reports as 43.4%, 48.4% and 61.5% of hypertension and 17.7%, 37.6% and 29.8% of diabetes in the ACS population respectively. In the present study, family history of patients did not have much role in the occurrence of ACS.…”

Objectives:To assess the impact of clinical pharmacist counselling and education on Quality of Life (QoL) of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methodology: A prospective interventional study was conducted for a period of 8 months. The ACS patients were categorized into intervention and control groups by randomization process. The intervention group was given patient counselling and patient information leaflets along with the usual care while the control group received only the usual care. The patient counselling, education and leaflets were provided only at the end of the study to the control group. The QoL of patients was assessed by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire at baseline, third month and sixth month of the study. The change in QoL scores between the two groups over a period was analysed by Repeated Measures of ANOVA with p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: A total number of 130 patients (65 patients in the intervention group and 65 in the control group) were enrolled in the study. The mean age for the intervention group was 60.23 ± 10.07 years and for control group was 57.85± 10.67 years. There is no significant difference in the QoL scores of Physical, Psychological, Social Relationships and Environment domains between the two groups with p value more than 0.05. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant change in QoL scores of the ACS patients. However, there is an improvement in the QoL scores of the intervention group to that of the control group.

“…This study also found that most of the subjects lacked western education and were elderly. Chambless and his colleagues [13] reported similar demographic observation in their study. The reason for this can be explained by the fact that ischaemic heart diseases mainly affect older people, perhaps due to the increase in prevalence of hypertension and diabetes in the elderly.…”

The study examined the quality of life of patients with Ishaemic Heart Diseases (IHD). IHD has been projected to be one of the primary causes of disability and morbidity in many developing countries around the globe. The disease is therefore a vital indicator of patient morbidity and long term disability. It is associated with significant physical, emotional, social and cognitive consequences and contributes greatly to escalating cost of health care. A cross-sectional study design was employed, and a purposive sampling technique was used to recruit the total sample size of eighty. The data was obtained using a standardized data collection form of Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. The study revealed that (63.7%) of the subjects were between the age group of 61-80 years, and 47.5% had no western education. The study showed that hypertensive disorders, depressive ailments and history of cigarette smoking were the major contributing factors to poor quality of life. The study concluded that there is an overwhelming limited quality of life in patients with IHD. Therefore, it is recommended that health education, non pharmacological programs, and improvement in the health care sector is needed to achieve promising results.

“…Several studies using the EQ-5D questionnaire to assess QOL among patients with coronary heart disease have been conducted (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), but only a few of them have used it in the subset of patients with ACS (12,13). The MERLIN-TIMI 36 Randomized trial of Ranolazine versus placebo had been carried out in 6560 patients with non-STelevation ACS reported an EQ-5D questionnaire single index value of approximately 0.71 at baseline and 0.84 at 12 months.…”
