EVALUATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS WITH CARDIAC RHYTHM DISORDERS WITH HELP OF QUESTIONNAIRE SF-36
An analysis of quality of life of 121 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in two treatment strategies in age groups under and over 60 y. o. has been done. It has been detected that in the older age group, indices of quality of life improved significantly both during recovery of the sinus rhythm and during preservation of continuous AF. In the younger group, indices of quality of life improved only during recovery of the sinus rhythm. During preservation of continuous AF, the health physical component became significantly worse.
