BACKGROUND: There remains controversy concerning the association between @entity296 diagnosed soon after @entity583 ( @entity583 ), and subsequent quality of life. AIMS: We searched for a correlation between criteria of @entity296 assessed within the first month after @entity583 , and quality of life perceived 1 year later. METHODS: Six hundred and seventy-one @entity1 were followed up and quality of life was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile. Spearman correlation was used for univariate analyses. A logistic regression identified independent predictors of impaired quality of life. RESULTS: @entity1 perceiving inferior quality of life were 61% for energy, 61% for sleep, 49% for physical mobility, 49% for @entity158 , 63% for emotional reactions, and 28% for social isolation. Impaired quality of life was not associated with the initial Killip class. A low ejection fraction was associated with @entity73 (OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.05-1.39). Presence of abnormally contracting @entity296 was associated with @entity73 (1.40, 1.09-1.80) and with @entity158 (1.30, 1.02-1.66). The presence of diseased coronary vessels was associated with @entity158 (1.25, 1.06-1.46). CONCLUSION: @entity296 was generally associated with impaired quality of life. This has to be considered when assessing improvement of quality of life after medical or surgical treatment of @entity583 .
