Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has become a global concernment due to the increased rate of mortality and compromised quality of life (QoL) among people suffering from this illness. There are many dimensions that influence cardiac patients' QoL and still the amount of research done in India on this topic, especially post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is meagre. The present study is focused towards evaluating health related quality of life (Hr-QoL) among cardiac patients in a one-month follow-up following the coronary angioplasty treatment and those who have not been through the intervention alongside a healthy control group. Purposive sampling technique was employed in order to select the sample consisting of 65 participants, which included 23 patients coming after one-month of the coronary angioplasty treatment for follow-up, 17 cardiac patients who had undergone angiography assessment and 25 healthy controls. EQ-5D-3L by EuroQol Research Foundation (2018) was used as psychometric tool for data collection. The administration of tool, scoring and interpretation were conducted according to the test manual. Kruskal Wallis H-test was used to statistically analyse the data. The results revealed significant difference amongst the three groups, H (2) = 7.672, p = .022 with regards to the index value of their Hr-QoL. Furthermore, mobility as a domain was found to be most significant H (2) = 7.599, p= .022 in contributing to the difference between these three groups. Thus, it can be construed that cardiac rehabilitation can be remarkably beneficial for improving cardiac patients' Hr-QoL by engaging them in activities that increase their mobility.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has become a global concernment due to the increased rate of mortality and compromised quality of life (QoL) among people suffering from this illness. There are many dimensions that influence cardiac patients' QoL and still the amount of research done in India on this topic, especially post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is meagre. The present study is focused towards evaluating health related quality of life (Hr-QoL) among cardiac patients in a one-month follow-up following the coronary angioplasty treatment and those who have not been through the intervention alongside a healthy control group. Purposive sampling technique was employed in order to select the sample consisting of 65 participants, which included 23 patients coming after one-month of the coronary angioplasty treatment for follow-up, 17 cardiac patients who had undergone angiography assessment and 25 healthy controls. EQ-5D-3L by EuroQol Research Foundation (2018) was used as psychometric tool for data collection. The administration of tool, scoring and interpretation were conducted according to the test manual. Kruskal Wallis H-test was used to statistically analyse the data. The results revealed significant difference amongst the three groups, H (2) = 7.672, p = .022 with regards to the index value of their Hr-QoL. Furthermore, mobility as a domain was found to be most significant H (2) = 7.599, p= .022 in contributing to the difference between these three groups. Thus, it can be construed that cardiac rehabilitation can be remarkably beneficial for improving cardiac patients' Hr-QoL by engaging them in activities that increase their mobility.
