Background of study: Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a prevalent cardiovascular condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis—the accumulation of cholesterol-laden plaques on arterial walls. CAD remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preventive strategies for CAD focus on lifestyle modifications, including adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and smoking cessation. Common forms of aerobic exercise that activate large muscle groups, such as the quadriceps, include brisk walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming. Regular physical activity has been shown to enhance peak aerobic capacity and lower overall mortality rates in CAD patients. Material and methods: A Quasi-experimental with one group, pretest

Objectives: To assess the existing level of oral mucositis among patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. To assess coping strategies adopted by patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. To determine association between severity of oral mucositis and selected socio-demographic variables.

Material and methods: A Quasi-experimental with one group, pretest post-test study design was used to assess the effectiveness of exercise programme on the health-related quality of life of the patients with CAD admitted at Dr.V.V.P. PRH Loni. The sample consisted of 40 patients diagnosed with CAD fulfilling inclusion criteria. Sampling techniques used for the present study was probability method, systemic random sampling technique. A proforma was prepared to collect the data. The study participants were assessed using demographic variables, and modified WHO HRQOL scale to assess pretest and post-test health-related quality of life of the patients with CAD. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data according to objectives.
