Recent advances in therapy led to a significant decrease in mortality and morbidity after myocardial infarction (MI). However, little is known about quality of life (QoL) after MI. We examined heart failure (HF)-related quality-of-life (QoL) impairment, its trajectories, and determinants after MI.
Data from a single-center prospectively designed registry of consecutive patients hospitalized for MI at a large tertiary cardiology center were utilized. At 1 month and 1 year after hospital discharge, patients completed the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ).
In total, 850 patients (aged 65 ± 12 years, 27% female) hospitalized between June 2017 and October 2020 completed KCCQ at 1 month after discharge. Of these, 38.7% showed HF-related QoL impairment (KCCQ ≤ 75). In addition to characteristics of MI (MI size, diuretics need, heart rate), comorbidities as renal dysfunction and anemia were associated with QoL impairment. Of the 673 eligible, 500 patients (74.3%) completed KCCQ at 1 year after MI. On average, QoL improved by 5.9 ± 16.8 points during the first year after MI (p < 0.001); but, in 18% of patients QoL worsened. Diabetes control and hemoglobin level at the time of hospitalization were associated with QoL worsening.
Two out of 5 patients after MI present with HF-related QoL impairment. In addition to guideline-directed MI management, careful attention to key non-cardiac comorbidities as chronic kidney disease, anemia and diabetes may lead to further augmentation of the benefit of modern therapies in terms of QoL.
近期治疗进展使心肌梗死(MI)后的死亡率和发病率显著降低。然而,对于MI后的生活质量(QoL)知之甚少。我们研究了MI后与心力衰竭(HF)相关的生活质量(QoL)损害、其轨迹及决定因素。
利用来自一家大型三级心脏病中心对因MI住院的连续患者进行的单中心前瞻性设计登记的数据。出院后1个月和1年时,患者完成堪萨斯城心肌病问卷(KCCQ)。
2017年6月至2020年10月期间住院的850例患者(年龄65±12岁,27%为女性)在出院后1个月完成了KCCQ。其中,38.7%表现出与HF相关的QoL损害(KCCQ≤75)。除了MI的特征(MI大小、利尿剂需求、心率)外,肾功能不全和贫血等合并症与QoL损害相关。在673例符合条件的患者中,500例(74.3%)在MI后1年完成了KCCQ。MI后的第一年,QoL平均改善了5.9±16.8分(p<0.001);但18%的患者QoL恶化。住院时的血糖控制和血红蛋白水平与QoL恶化相关。
五分之二的MI后患者存在与HF相关的QoL损害。除了遵循指南进行MI管理外,仔细关注慢性肾病、贫血和糖尿病等关键非心脏合并症,可能会在QoL方面进一步增强现代疗法的益处。
