The Impact of Physical and Psychological Comorbid Conditions on the Quality of Life of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Multi-Center, Cross-Sectional Observational Study from Turkey

Abstract

Female patients are more prone to impairment in quality of life after myocardial infarction. Both comorbid medical conditions and depression have a significant impact on the impairment of QoL in Turkish patients with acute MI. In order to improve the subjective wellbeing of post MI patients, both psychiatric and physical comorbidities must be detected and managed even in the short-term.
