Qualidade de vida de pacientes com cardiomiopatia chagasica submetidos a terapia celular/Quality of life in patients with chagasic cardiomyophaty submitted to the cellular therapy

Avaliar a percepção da qualidade de vida de 60 pacientes com cardiopatia chagásica que participaram do Estudo Multicêntrico Randomizado de Terapia Celular em Cardiopatia no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Foram incluidos os 60 pacientes chagásicos, a maioria do sexo masculino (70%), idade média 50,98 anos. O grupo que recebeu células-tronco e o grupo que não recebeu permaneceu semelhante, com boa qualidade de vida durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Observa-se que, dois meses após o procedimento houve melhora da qualidade de vida em ambos os grupos, quando comparada aos demais tempos. A correlação da classificação funcional e do teste de caminhada com a qualidade de vida mostrou que quanto melhor a condição clínica do participante, melhor era o escore de qualidade de vida. To assess the perception of quality of life of the 60 patients with Chagas Cardiomyopathy who were submitted to the procedure of cell therapy randomized multicenter study on heart disease at the Hospital das Clinicas, at the Universidade Federal de Goiás. It is a retrospective cohort search from a previous cross-sectional study. Participants were chosen randomly and we used the double-blind design for those who received stem cells (experimental group) or not received (control group). The data were obtained from medical records of 60 patients who answered the demographic questionnaire, the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, functional classification and the six-minute walk test, at baseline, 2, 6 and 12 months segment. the data for quality of life were analyzed demographic partner, functional classification and six-minute walk test, through descriptive statistical tests (percentage, mean, standard deviation) and comparative (Student t test and Pearson correlation to p[less than or equal to]0.05). Sixty patients were included with Chagas disease, most male (70%), average of 50,98 years of age. The groups which received stem cells and the group that did not remained similar, with good quality of life during the development of the research. It was noted that, two months after the procedure, there was an improvement in the quality of life in both groups when compared with the other times. The correlation of the functional classification and the walking test with the quality of life showed that the better the clinical condition of the subject, the better was the quality of life score. There was no alteration in the quality of life of the experimental
