The post operatory period of cardiac intervention is a difficult period for the patient, his family and the family doctors. The rehabilitation of the patient is different in different patients and depends from co-morbidity, age, socio-economic state, life style and well-being of the affected individual. On the other hand the patients in the majority of cases have problems with mobility, self care, pain, usual activities and anxiety. In this study are included all cases that have cardiac intervention. All these cases are interventions made in University Hospital Center of Tirana, in private hospitals in Tirana or abroad.

In this study we have try to measure the patient`s health state and their quality of life after cardiac intervention. In this study we would like to measure the post operatory quality of life in the patients after the cardiac intervention. The key questions were as follows: whether patients consider them sensitive enough to detect change in their health after cardiovascular disease interventions. We choose sample random cases from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), in different post operatory period. Data were analyzed using SPSS.20.Program. The participants confirmed that they had derived substantial health benefits from their cardiac interven¬tions. Participants felt that the benefit of intervention is evident but their health fluctuates from day to day and after 1 year their quality of life was improved.
