Some cardiovascular risk factors related to the life quality of patients after myocardial infarction who received coronary intervention are: The overall life quality score was inversely linked with age (r = -0.25, p < 0.05). Among the cardiovascular risk factors: Hypertension degree is associated to life quality, Hypertension has an effect on lower life quality (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.2 – 5.9). Hypertention degree has a higher life quality score on the physical and social factors with ORs of 1.18 and 1.38, respectively.
