Abstract

Myocardial Infarction (MI) renowned as “Heart attack” is of 2 main categories ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) which is symptomatic and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) with no clear symptoms, killing silently. Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is a multidimensional standard of patient care individually tailored to specific needs of participants. Objective: To find out the impact of CR on cardiac abnormalities and associated malfunctions and promote awareness and facilitation of CR. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done via “The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire” (MLHFQ). Data was collected from 90 cardiac patients. Results: According to MLHFQ, 7.8% of the population had good QOL, 71.1% had moderate QOL, and 21.1% had poor QOL from age 45 to 60 with MI. Conclusion: 71.1% of total participants with MI who followed CR observed enhanced energy levels, managed symptoms effectively, prevented progression, and boosted up confidence level hence results showed positive impact of rehabilitation. Factor affected results were age, cooperation, duration of diagnosis before participating in CR and duration of rehabilitation. Whereas, it had almost similar impact for both male and female of age 45 to 60.
