Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) contributes to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This review article investigates the factors that can affect the HRQOL in CHD patients. A literature search from PubMed and EBSCO databases was performed until March 2021 with predetermined keywords. The review of 15 included articles showed that many factors that can affect the HRQOL by using EQ-5D instrument in CHD patients, such as education, gender, comorbidity, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)/coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) intervention, patient-physician interaction, obesity, physical activity, numbers of medication, smoking, self-efficacy, social/family life, alcohol drinking, income, employment, and behavioral risk factor profile. The top three factors associated with HRQOL in CHD patients were education, gender, and comorbidity. Therefore, we should pay more attention to CHD patients with lower education levels, females, and comorbidity.
