The quality of life of patients and the disabled withcoronary heart disease after bypass graftingof the coronary arteries
The work is devoted to the study of quality of life and the impact of comorbid pathology on the rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease after coronary artery bypass surgery. The purpose of the study: analysis of indicators of quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease after bypass grafting of the coronary arteries according to the questionnaire SF-36. Materials and methods: 266 people were examined, including 221 patients with coronary artery bypass surgery and 45 patients with coronary artery disease receiving only drug therapy. Results and discussions. In the study groups, there are low indicators of quality of life on all scales. The tendency of higher indicators of quality of life in patients receiving medical treatment for many years is noted. The period of 4-6 months after revascularization does not allow to judge the improvement of their quality of life in the group of patients after coronary bypass surgery. It is assumed that the improvement of the quality of life is possible gradually at a later date, after going through all the stages of rehabilitation and return to work, as a factor of social and psychological adaptation. In addition, the quality of life may be affected by comorbid comorbid comorbid pathology, identified in all examined and increases the risk of death. Summary. All surveyed have low values on the scales of the questionnaire SF-36. Patients experience the greatest difficulties in performing daily activities. Comorbid pathology can affect the quality of life of patients. The main and concomitant pathology in the examined patients led to limitations of life activity, social insufficiency and the need for social protection measures.
