Abstract

Objective: To evaluate changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient satisfaction among individuals with bradyarrhythmia before and after permanent pacemaker implantation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 patients who underwent permanent pacemaker implantation at Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute (20242025). HRQoL was assessed using AQUAREL, SF-12, and open-ended questions at three time points: before implantation, 1 month and 3 months post-implantation. Data were analyzed using R software (version 4.4.0). Results: Having 70 females and 40 males. Common comorbidities were hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease. Both AQUAREL and SF-12 scores improved significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: Permanent pacemaker implantation resulted in a progressive and significant improvement in HRQoL.
