Abstract: Objective To investigate whether five-times sit-to-stand test (FTSST) can be used as a predictor of cardiac function and quality of life (QoL) in the elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 143 elderly patients aged 65-80 years who underwent PCI were enrolled in the study. The changes of FTSST time and cardiac function before and after PCI were observed, and the score of QoL was recorded before and 3 months after PCI. Results After PCI, FTSST time was significantly reduced, and QoL score was significantly improved after 3 months of follow-up. There were no significant differences in the levels of LVEF and NT-ProBNP before and after PCI. FTSST time was positively correlated with QoL score after PCI. After adjusting other factors, FTSST time after PCI was independently associated with improved QoL 3 months after PCI. Conclusions FTSST can be used as a simple predictor of QoL in the elderly patients after PCI.
