Abstract

Coronary heart disease is a public health problem and is one of the leading causes of loss of quality of life, disability, and death worldwide. The main procedure these patients undergo is cardiac catheterisation, which helps improve their quality of life, symptoms of myocardial ischemia, and ventricular function, thus helping increase the survival rate of sufferers. It can also, however, lead to physical consequences, including kidney failure, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke. The objective of this study was to analyse how coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences quality of life. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Cuiden databases in June 2020. A total of 7537 subjects were included, 16 in the systematic review and 3 in the meta-analysis. The studies analysing quality of life using the SF questionnaire showed improvements in the quality of physical and mental appearance, and those using the NHP questionnaire showed score improvements and, in some cases, differences in quality of life between women and men. This operation seems to be a good choice for improving the quality of life of people with coronary pathologies, once the possible existing risks have been assessed.

Highlights

  • Coronary heart disease is a public health problem and is one of the leading causes of loss of quality of life, disability, and death worldwide

  • After applying the inclusion and exclusion total of 36were studies were obtained for reading, and n studies were selected, of which contributed data for the meta-analysis

  • Non-cardiac, preoperative and early postoperative factors helps us predict the quality of life of patients after surgery

Summary

Introduction

Coronary heart disease is a public health problem and is one of the leading causes of loss of quality of life, disability, and death worldwide The main procedure these patients undergo is cardiac catheterisation, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes [1]. Cardiac catheterisation helps improve quality of life, symptoms of myocardial ischaemia, and ventricular function, helping increase the survival rate of sufferers It can lead to physical consequences, including kidney failure, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke [2]. It has psychological consequences, such as stress, anxiety, fear, and depression [3] Another widely used therapeutic option for the treatment of coronary disease worldwide is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The development of this technique in recent decades has led to an improvement in both postoperative and long-term outcomes [4]
