TI  - Health-related quality-of-life after percutaneous coronary intervention in 
      patients with UA/NSTEMI and STEMI: the Korean multicenter registry.

AB  - Compared with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), long-term outcomes are 
      known to be worse in patients with unstable angina/non-STEMI (UA/NSTEMI), which 
      might be related to the worse health status of patients with UA/STEMI. In 
      patients with UA/NSTEMI and STEMI underwent percutaneous coronary intervention 
      (PCI), angina-specific and general health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) was 
      investigated at baseline and at 30 days after PCI. Patients with UA/NSTEMI were 
      older and had higher frequencies in female, diabetes and hypertension. After PCI, 
      both angina-specific and general HRQOL scores were improved, but improvement was 
      much more frequent in angina-related HRQOL of patients with UA/NSTEMI than those 
      with STEMI (44.2% vs 36.8%, P < 0.001). Improvement was less common in general 
      HRQOL. At 30-days after PCI, angina-specific HRQOL of the patients with UA/NSTEMI 
      was comparable to those with STEMI (56.1 +/- 18.6 vs 56.6 +/- 18.7, P = 0.521), but 
      general HRQOL was significantly lower (0.86 +/- 0.21 vs 0.89 +/- 0.17, P = 0.001) 
      after adjusting baseline characteristics (P < 0.001). In conclusion, the general 
      health status of those with UA/NSTEMI was not good even after optimal PCI. In 
      addition to angina-specific therapy, comprehensive supportive care would be 
      needed to improve the general health status of acute coronary syndrome survivors.
