RESEARCH ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOME FACTORS RELATED TO CHANGES IN QUALITY OF LIGE IN BRADYCARDIA PATIENTS WITH INDICATIONS FOR PERMANENT PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The improvement of a patient's quality of life after permanent pacemaker implantation is one of the important criteria to help evaluate the success after implantation. Objective: To study the quality of life and some factors related to the change in the quality of life of patients with bradycardia with indications for permanent pacemaker placement using the Aquarel scale. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 52 patients with bradycardia with indications for permanent pacemaker implantation at Can Tho Central General Hospital from 2021 to 2022. Results: The proportion of women was higher than that of men. The history of hypertension accounted for the highest proportion, and the most common indications for permanent pacemaker placement were sinus node dysfunction syndrome and the majority of two-chamber atrioventricular pacemakers, p<0.001. After one and three months of pacemaker implantation, Aquarel scores in areas such as chest discomfort, physical limitations, and arrhythmias increased markedly. The change in the quality-of-life score on the Aquarel scale after three months compared with the time before pacing was related to the type of pacemaker pacing (p <0.05). Conclusion: The quality of life in patients with bradyarrhythmia improved markedly after permanent pacemaker implantation.
