چکیده:
The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between psychological factors, Erectile Dysfunctional (ED), and quality of life (QOL) before and after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures among Iranian cardiovascular patients. To do so, one hundred ninety patients, scheduled for CABG and PTCA operations, were selected and administered relevant questionnaires a day before the surgery. Subsequently, the same patients filled out the same questionnaires two months after the procedure. Data analysis showed an increase in Qol, while revealing a decline in sexual functioning among men and no change in women after the PTCA procedure . Also, the results showed an improvement in psychological status of all patients following both revascularization procedures

Psychological factors, Sexual Dysfunction and Quality of Life in Revascularization Procedures: A Pre and Post Evaluation Study Said Pournaghash-Tehrani1* ; Mohammad Reza Abdoli-Bidhendi2 Abstract The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between psychological factors, Erectile Dysfunctional (ED), and quality of life (QOL) before and after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures among Iranian cardiovascular patients.
Although a number of studies have reported that patients’ health-related quality of life improve after CABG (Thomson, Niven, Peck, & Eaves, 2013) and PTCA (Levine et al.
, 2011), operated patients report array of psychiatric disorders, namely depression, anxiety, cognitive functions, and sleep disorders, as well as experiencing many physical problems and relative disabilities such as erectile dysfunction (ED) (Schumann, Zellweger, Di Valentino, Piazzalonga, & Hoffmann, 2010; Karkos et al.
(2008) reported that following CABG operation, ED improves, thereby; enhancing quality of life of the afflicted patients suggesting that ED is an essential component of QoL and that coronary artery bypass surgery can have considerable influence on erectile function.
For example, Chadhury, Sharma, and Pawar (2006) have reported a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients undergoing CABG, both before and after surgery.
In terms of the status of psychological factors in CABG and PTCA, the fact that depression, anxiety and stress decreased following successful operation is somewhat surprising given that a large body of evidence indicate an increase in psychological status of patients (Herbegue, Lahidheb, Labbene, & Haouala, 2014; Saur, et al.
, 2001; Doering, Chen, McGuire, Boda, & Irwin, 2014; Gaw-Ens, 1994).
