The improvement of the survival of cardiac patients may cause an impairment of their quality of life. At present, the study of the quality of life of the patients and its changes, must be considered as one of the aims of the Medicine. This study must be comprised clinical, functional, intellectual, social, and labor aspects, and all the items related to the environment of the patient. The first questionnaires used for the study of quality of life were generic but later on, specific questionnaires for different pathologies were found to be preferential. At present, there are questionnaires for hypertensive, myocardial infarction, angina and heart failure patients, and among them the questionnaire for myocardial infarction patients, structures and validated by the authors which has been used to study the quality of life postinfarction patients who followed a cardiac rehabilitation programme.
心脏病患者生存率的提高可能会导致其生活质量受损。目前，对患者生活质量及其变化的研究必须被视为医学的目标之一。这项研究必须涵盖临床、功能、智力、社会和劳动方面，以及与患者环境相关的所有项目。最初用于生活质量研究的问卷是通用的，但后来发现针对不同病症的特定问卷更具优势。目前，有针对高血压、心肌梗死、心绞痛和心力衰竭患者的问卷，其中作者构建并验证的心肌梗死患者问卷已被用于研究参加心脏康复计划的心肌梗死后患者的生活质量。
