ABSTRACT

Introduction: Partial or total occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery is the most frequent genesis of acute coronary syndromes. With the intention of measuring the impact of disease and treatment on the daily functioning, physical, emotional and social well-being of each person, the term health-related quality of life is introduced.
Objective: To evaluate the quality of life in patients over 75 years of age with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: A prospective observational study with an analytical component was conducted in 82 patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome who received percutaneous coronary interventionism, over 75 years of age, admitted to the coronary intensive care unit of the Clinical-Surgical Hospital “Comandante Manuel Fajardo” from January 2015 to December 2019.
vResults: The average age was 80 years with an interquartile range of (77-82), there were no significant differences in terms of gender, hypertension (80.5%) and a history of acute myocardial infarction (41.5%) prevailed. In general, the averages and ranges in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were higher than those with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Women had worse social function than men.
Conclusions: Quality of life was assessed in patients older than 75 years with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. They had worse scores in the different dimensions of health-related quality of life, women presented worse social function compared to men.
