Sudden deaths from acute myocardial infarction have been  a current trend of health care problem of Indonesians. This condition may have impacted on the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this literature review was to identify factors that affected quality of life patient after acute myocardial infarction event. This review used a scoping review method. Literature searching was conducted using Google Scholar, Pubmed and Science Direct utilizing keywords: acute myocardial infarction, quality of life and questionnaire. The inclusion criteria were quantitative or qualitative study, peer-reviewed, published in 2008 – 2018. There were 18,035 papers retreived, only 19 papers met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using content analyses. The findings of this study indicate that the quality of life of patients has decreased after experiencing acute myocardial infarction. Quality of life is influenced by 5 major factors, namely biological factors, emotional factors, physical factors, social factors and psychometric factors.  There are 5 major factors that are proven to still affect the quality of life of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Further research is needed to determine psychometric factors in influencing quality of life. The instrument that can be used is macnew quality of life after myocardial infarction because it meets the psychometric criteria.

Early Physical Therapy

AbstractBackground: Physical rehabilitation is essential to improve the quality of life of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Study aim: The study intended to demonstrate the benefits of early rehabilitation in patients with AMI.Material and method: We performed a meta-analysis to document the benefits of physical treatment in patients who suffered an AMI. Studies were searched in the following databases: PubMed, PlosOne, Mendeley, and clinicaltrials.gov. The terms used in our research were “rehabilitation”, “physical exercise”, “physical training” “quality of life”, “early”, and “post MI”. The inclusion criteria consisted in the assessment of the following parameters: heart rate, maximal/submaximal capacity, and characteristics of the left ventricle – end-diastolic volume, ejection fraction, and left ventricle hypertrophy included in the study design.Results: The database search identified 710 studies, of which only 10 passed the inclusion criteria. Out of 1,515 patients who underwent early physical therapy, 960 reported improvement in the quality of their life (p <0.001). A number of 2,703 patients out of a total of 3,595 underwent a complete physical treatment and medication program. From the ten studies included in the meta-analysis, six had a positive feedback to the multimodal treatment within 1 month post-AMI. Patients who performed physical exercises within a month after the cardiac arrest (1,103 post-AMI patients from a total of 1,278) demonstrated a high heterogeneity represented by the coefficient I2 = 84% but with a significant statistical value of p <0.00001.Conclusion: Early physical therapy initiation significantly improves the quality of life of patients with AMI.

Background: Despite the excess risk of mortality in young women following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), little effort has been made to describe their long-term outcomes, particularly with respect to their health status (symptoms, function and quality of life). Accordingly, we assessed gender differences in 1-year health status outcomes after AMI. Methods: Data was used from the VIRGO study, an observational cohort of patients aged ≤55 years with AMI in the US and Spain (n=3,501, 67% women). Clinical data was abstracted from medical records and health status was obtained through patient interviews at the time of hospitalization and at 1-year later [Short Form 12 (SF-12) and the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)]. Patient scores were categorized as “bad” if they had below average scores on the SF-12 components, had a score below 100 on the SAQ physical limitations (PL) or the SAQ angina frequency (AF), or had a score below 75 on the SAQ quality of life (QOL) at either baseline or 1-year. Patients were classified as having a “poor” outcome for a measure if they had a “bad” score at both baseline and 1-year or had a “bad” score at 1-year. Logistic regression models were used to assess factors associated with having a “poor” outcome for each scale. Results: The median age was 48 years (IQR: 44, 52). Women were more likely to present with diabetes (39% vs. 27%), obesity (51% vs. 45%), stroke (5% vs. 2%), heart failure (5% vs. 2%), lung disease (13% vs. 5%), and depression (48% vs. 24%, all P values <0.0001). Women were more likely to have “poor outcomes” compared with men (SF-12 PCS 46% vs. 30%; SF-12 MCS 47% vs. 30%; SAQ AF 32% vs. 25%; SAQ PL 29% vs. 20%; SAQ QOL 42% vs. 28%, all p-values <0.001). Female gender, prior AMI/percutaneous coronary intervention/coronary artery bypass grafting, and smoking within 30 days were independent predictors of having a “poor” outcome for all health status measures. Specifically, women had an increased odds of having a “poor” outcome on the SF-12 PCS (OR=2.05; 95% CI 1.69, 2.48), MCS (OR=1.98; 95% CI 1.65, 2.39), SAQ AF (OR=1.39; 95% CI 1.15, 1.67), SAQ PL (OR=1.62; 95% CI 1.32, 1.99) and the SAQ QOL scale (OR=1.84; 95% CI 1.53, 2.22), as compared with men. Conclusion: Compared with men, young women are more likely to have “poor” health status outcomes after AMI. This information is critically important in developing targets for gender-specific interventions to improve young women’s recovery post AMI.
