Abstract The goal of treatment in stable coronary artery disease is to improve prognosis and quality of life of the patients. International Guidelines support revascularization procedures for symptomatic patients unresponsive to optimal medical treatment. Previous studies demonstrated, in fact, the therapeutic efficacy of coronary angioplasty in reducing angina and improving the functional capacity of these patients. The ORBITA study, recently published, challenged these assertions by demonstrating the lack of benefit of angioplasty over placebo in terms of effort tolerance in a population of patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease. What lesson could we learn from the ORBITA study?

Lifestyle modification is essential to improve quality of life among patients with coronary artery disease. However, it is one of the challenges for patients with coronary artery disease. The aim of the study to assess the adherence level and factors affecting lifestyle modifications. A cross-sectional study among 113 patients was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The findings of the study indicated that the level of adherence to lifestyle modification was low 2.09(±.19). The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics significantly affected lifestyle modification (p<.001). This study found factors affecting lifestyle modification that essential to initiate development interventions to improve quality of life.
