There was a difference in the quality of life score of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention compared with before intervention (2,1 ± 0,4 to 2,5 ± 0,3; p< 0,001). Quality of life scores in the physical area improved significantly after the intervention from 1,9 ± 0,4 before PCI to 2,4 ± 0,4 after PCI (p < 0,05). The factors of age, gender, education level, income level, health status, chest pain status, NYHA level related to the quality of life patient’s after PCI (p < 0,05). Conclusion: The patient's quality of life improved after 6 months of intervention. The characteristics of age, gender, education level, income level, chest pain status after PCI, NYHA level and health status were related to the quality of life patient’s after PCI.
