Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of death worldwide, including in Iran. Considering the adverse effects of CVDs on physical and psychosocial health; this study aims to investigate the association between experience of CVDs and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). Methods The participants of this cross-sectional study were 7009 adults (≥ 20 years) who participated in the TLGS during 2014–2017. Demographic information and HRQoL data was collected through validated questionnaires by trained interviewers. HRQoL was assessed by the Iranian version of the SF-12 questionnaire. Data was analyzed using the SPSS software. Results The mean age of participants was 46.8 ± 14.6 years and 46.1% of them were men. A total of 9.0% of men and 4.4% of women had CVDs. In men, the mean physical HRQoL summary score was significantly lower in those with CVDs compared to those without CVDs (46.6 ± 0.8 vs. 48.5 ± 0.7, p > 0.001). In women, the mean mental HRQoL summary scores was significantly lower in those with CVDs compared to those without CVDs (42.8 ± 1.0 vs. 45.2 ± 0.5, p = 0.009). In adjusted models, men with CVDs were more likely to report poor physical HRQoL compared to men without CVDs (OR(95%CI): 1.93(1.32–2.84), p = 0.001); whereas for women, the chance of reporting poor mental HRQoL was 68% higher in those with CVDs than those without CVDs (OR(95%CI): 1.68(1.11–2.54), p = 0.015). Conclusion The findings of the current study indicate poorer HRQoL in those who experienced CVDs compared to their healthy counterparts with a sex specific pattern. While for men, CVDs were associated with more significant impairment in the physical dimension of HRQoL, women experienced a similar impairment in the mental dimension of HRQoL.

Purpose. This study aims to explore the sociodemographic differences in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Vietnamese patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Methods. A cross-sectional survey of 600 cardiovascular disease patients (300 inpatients and 300 outpatients) being treated at the Hanoi Heart Hospital was completed between July and December 2016. Data about HRQOL were collected by using the EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) and EuroQOL-visual analogue scale (VAS). Sociodemographic characteristics were collected. A multivariate Tobit regression was used to detect the correlations between HRQOL and sociodemographic factors. Results. Our sample had an average EQ-5D index of 0.82 (SD=0.21) and VAS score of 77.8 (SD=13.6). Participants were most likely to report problems in pain/discomfort (38.8%) and anxiety/depression (35.2%) and were least likely to report problems related to self-care (19.8%). Age and sex were strongly associated with the EQ-5D index and the VAS. Having health insurance and the number of hospital visits were negatively associated with HRQOL, while participation in the chronic disease management program had the positive relationship. Conclusions. HRQOL among patients with CVD was moderately lower compared to the Vietnamese general population. Sociodemographic characteristics were strongly associated with HRQOL suggesting that addressing these inequalities should be prioritized in delivering services. Patients should also be encouraged to participate in the chronic disease management program due to its positive effects on quality of life.

Abstract Background Globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) was the leading cause of health losses. The emergence of revascularization has brought a major change in the management of CAD. Depression and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the two highly prevalent noncommunicable diseases (NCD), which lead to poor quality of life and high socio-economic loss for the patient. The rate of depressive episodes was higher in CAD population in comparison to population with other heart problems. Objectives The primary objective of the current study is to determine the proportion of those with depressive symptoms through Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) among CAD patients in a tertiary care public hospital. Methods It was a cross-sectional analytical design, which assess the percentage of patients with depressive symptoms among CAD patients, using a pretested, semistructured questionnaire. The PHQ-9 and EuroQoL five-dimensional three-level (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaire, a quality-of-life instrument (five items), were used, which was validated in the Tamil version. Statistical Analysis Categorical variables was expressed as proportion. We used Chi-square as a statistical test to calculate the p value and risk estimation with 95% CI. Results Out of 541 patients, 159 (30%) patients had mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms, of which 144 (89%) participants were greater than 50 years. In EQ-5D-3L, around one-third of the participants reported pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression. Conclusion The study concludes that the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is becoming increasingly important in the management of CAD patients. Studies have shown that depression predicts subsequent quality of life, while others have shown that HRQoL is a risk factor for ongoing depression. Treatment of depression may improve subsequent physical HRQoL; hence, it is vital to address both during their follow-up to improve outcomes among patients with CAD.
