PACEMAKER as one of the curative methods in treating patients with arrhythmia can reduce most of their problems. In spite of its benefits, it may cause some physical and psychological problems and affect on patients QUALITY OF LIFE. Thus, following up is necessary for these patients.

Case group was followed up by telephone and control group was followed up by routine procedure. The QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) was assessed using AQOL and sf-36 questionnaires for duration of one month. Data were analyzed using independent and paired-t tests.Results: No significant difference was found between case and control group for the QUALITY OF LIFE scores before starting the study. At the end of the study, mean QUALITY OF LIFE scores was significantly higher in case group compared to the control group. Paired t-test also showed a significant difference between the mean of QUALITY OF LIFE scores in case group before and after the study (P<0.001).Conclusion: Telephone following-up can be used as a cheap and effective method for improving the QUALITY OF LIFE in patients with PACEMAKER after discharge.
