Circulation

Abstract

Quality of life, as a concept pertaining to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, is explored. A theory of life quality, based on the capacity of the patient to realize his own life plans, is proposed, explaining the role of differing factors, general and individualized. Using the proposed theory, three avenues of investigation are suggested, each aimed at the more effective use of surgery in improving life quality.
