myocardial infarction patients. Here we evaluated the intensity of the fatigue in the older adults of Acute

Myocardial Infarction and graded the intensity on the basis of RPFScale.

Result: There is increase in fatigue in the post acute myocardial infarction older adults. Increased fatigue

is found more in the age group of 60-65 years of older adults as compared to age group of 66-70 years of
