Abstract

 Background and Objective : Several study show that health related quality of life in heart failure patients is significantly impacted by disease. The aim of the present study was to determine quality of life and some related factors in males with heart failure.

  Material and Methods : This is a descriptive-­analytical study conducted on 100 males with systolic heart failure in Karaj and Shahriar social security hospitals of Alborz province in 2010. Data was collected through convenience sampling and interview.­The instruments were demographic data sheet and MLHFQ (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure) Questionnaire. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation) and independent T- test, Anova and Pearson correlation coefficient(p<0.05).

  Results: The findings indicat that the mean score of quality of life is­ 41.61 ± 21.30 51% of males quality of life is poor, 26% moderate and 23% good. There is significant positive correlation between quality of life and age (p<0.001), and negative correlation between Qol and ejection fraction (p=0.006) and hemoglobin level (p<0.001). Statistical significant difference is found between quality of life and education level (p=0.001), economic status (p=0.010), cigarette smoking (p=0.031), asthma (p=0.022), use of digoxin (p=0.040), angiotensin receptor blocker (p=0.035) and Spironolactone (p=0.002).

  Conclusion: This study indicates that males with systolic heart failure have poor quality of life. The nurse can help to improve quality of life by performing appropriate intervention teaching patients about self-care intervention and monitoring side effects of treatment.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of OSA in myocardial infarction patients in the CCU of Karaj Hospitals, 2009. 
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted , via convenience sampling , on 140 acute myocardial infarction patients in two cardiac care units of Shariati and Rajaei hospital in Karaj, 2009. We assessed demographic data, history of cardiovascular risk factors, STOP-Bang questionnaire through interview, information related to the type of myocardial infarction and laboratory parameters from medical records, and also we measured anthropometric indices with balance scale and meter tap. 
Results: Mean score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was 4.9 ± 1.2 in the range of 2 to 8 points and in 64% of the participants was higher than 4 points. The Score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was statistically significant considering age, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, extensive infarction, BMI, waist-to-height ratio, Waist to Hip Ratio, Waist Circumference, neck circumference, cholesterol and left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.001), sex (P=0.044), Diabetes(P=0.019), inferior infarction (P=0.006), anterior wall (P=0.048) and triglyceride levels (P=0.031). 
Conclusion: OSA is common among patients with myocardial infarction and is associated with anthropometric indices, cardiovascular risk factors, the location of infarction and left ventricular ejection fraction. Thus, Screening, evaluating the symptoms of OSA and referring for counseling and treatment is necessary.
