Title
Quality of Life after Coronary Stent Implantation in Thai Population
Abstract
Placement of a stent in the coronary has become common practice in Thailand for treatment of Symptomatic Coronary Artery Disease. We evaluated the impact of such a practice on Life Quality in addition to symptomatic improvement by questionnaire interview using the Sickness Impact Profile format. 34 patients from 3 major cardiac centers tin Bangkok were randomly selected to participate after having successful coronary stenting procedures. Quality of Life and Symptom of Angina improved dramatically after the index procedure and continued to improve at 6 weeks and 12 weeks evaluation time. We conclude that dilatation with stent implantation of coronary stenosis is beneficial in the Thai Population both in symptoms as well as Life Quality improvement.
