冠狀動脈繞道手術術後病患短期的生活品質及最大攝氧量之關係
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of life and physical fitness in patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). We used WHOQOL-BREF (Taiwan) to evaluate the quality of life, and (The symbol is abbreviated) O(subscript 2peak) to evaluate physical fitness. We also collected the data of pre-operative left ventricle cardiac ejection fraction and analyzed the correlation within the data.There were 33 male post-CABG patients enrolled in this study. Each patient received a cardiopulmonary exercise stress test 3~4 weeks after the surgery. Each of them completed the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (Taiwan version). We applied Pearson's correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship among them. The (The symbol is abbreviated) O(subscript 2peak) was 17.19±4.37ml/kg/min. The average score of WHOQOL-BREF was around 60. The (The symbol is abbreviated) O(subscript 2peak) had statistically significant correlation in domain Ⅰ (physical health) and Ⅳ (environment). However, there was no correlation for pre-operative left ventricle cardiac ejection fraction. The cardiac ejection fraction had statistic significance with domain Ⅰ only. Based on the results of this study, the patients after CABG should receive phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation to improve the quality of life and physical fitness.
