This study measured fatigue in women 6 weeks after myocardial infarction. Fatigue was experienced by the women as chronic, generalized, intermittent, and longstanding. More than one third of the women attributed their fatigue directly to the heart attack or hospitalization. Significant relations were found between fatigue and the physiological dimension of the Sickness Impact Sale (SIP), the Perceived Health Assessment and Risk Protection Survey (PHARPS), and the site of infarction, as well as with the psychological dimension of the SIP. There was an inverse significant relation between fatigue scores and the Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) Index. Although not reaching statistical significance, fatigue scores for women 65 and older were higher than for younger women.
