They also include coronary heart disease (CHD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This paper aimed at measuring the quality of life after coronary artery bypass graft procedure and determine the factors that affect the quality of life. <strong>Methods:</strong> Data was collected via a structured close-ended questionnaire in which 100 (male and female, aged 40-60) were questioned. Patients were chosen after underwent CABG surgery 2 to5 years. <strong>Results</strong>: Carried out as good 36% for their general heath and 24% very good. The activities indicated that there was a significant difference between males and females. Moreover, female participants were significantly different from male (<em>P. </em>value <0.05) in their perception towards own health. Elder participants (56-60 years) were feeling better in comparison with middle age (40-49 years), (<em>P. </em>value 0.002). <strong>Conclusion and recommendations:</strong> The core domains related with the quality of life, that affected are physical functioning, bodily pain, social functioning and emotion, Therefore, health care specialists must plan for interventions towards improving the HRQOL to decrease the complications of CABG surgery. We recommend the establishment of a special center for rehabilitation of patients underwent CABG. Moreover, providing a further minimal invasive procedure to improve HRQOL.
