THE COGNITIVE STATUS IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE WITH THE VARIOS COMORBIDITY LEVEL
The research objective was to estimate the cognitive status in patients with the coronary heart disease (CHD) depending on comorbidity level. Inspection of 30 patients with CHD became a material for the research. Besides a standard clinical laboratory tests all patiens were examed by MMSE test for the assessment of cognitive dysfunction. More then that the Charlson comorbidity index was calculated. During a research it had been revealed that patients with CHD have decrease in the cognitive status. A considerable part of the patients has moderate cognitive violations. Level of cognitive decrease has feedback with age, the body mass index, level of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, a hereditary factor, existence in the anamnesis of brain strokes, heart attacks, degree of arterial hypertension, risk of cardiovascular complications, a functional class and a stage of CHF, a functional class of CHD, CHD experience, existence duration at sick CHF. Violation of the highest brain functions increased at increase in the index of a comorbidity. Timely recognition of violations of cognitive function at sick CHD and their correction is necessary that can significantly help to improve the forecast.
