Abstract Objective To evaluate the changes of life quality in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction ( STEMI ) after treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI ) and drugs . Methods EuroQol- 5-dimension(EQ- 5D) was administered in 105 patients with STEMI on admission and one month after treatment with PCI and medicines. Results The EQ- 5D scores before and after treatment in patients with STEMI were:mobility 2.68±0.47 vs 1.48±0.50 (P<0.01);self- care 2.80±0.40 vs 1.45±0.50 (P<0.01);usual activities 2.74±0.44 vs 1.43±0.50 (P<0.01);pain/discomfort 3.00±0.00 vs 1.45±0.50 (P<0.01);anxiety/depression 2.81±0.39 vs 1.56±0.66 (P<0.01). The EQ- VAS scores were 45.30±6.51 and 72.54±6.35, respectively, before and after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion The quality of life in patients with STEMI is improved obviously one month after PCI and drug therapy.
