ANALYSIS OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE OF PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION COMBINED WITH CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS

The article analyzes the quality of life and psychoemotional state of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of stage II-III in combination with cardiac arrhythmias based on standardized questionnaires that assessed pain intensity, role, physical, social functioning, general health, vital activity, emotional state and the presence of cardiac arrhythmias (AFEQT).The study included 102 patients with arterial hypertension of stage II-III in combination with cardiac arrhythmias.Among the selected contingents, there were 52 men (51.0%),50 women (49.0%).The control group consisted of 50 practically healthy individuals (25 men and 25 women).As a result of the study, it was found that patients with arterial hypertension in combination with cardiac arrhythmias have a significant decrease in quality of life indicators according to all assessment components (EQ-5D-5L, AFEQT, HADS scales).The level of role functioning was high in 58% of men and 54% of women, physical functioning -in 54% of men and 50% of women.Vital activity was 58% among men and 54% among women, social functioning -(54% of men and 50% of women).The level of pain intensity was moderate (62% of men, 58% of women).Violation of the emotional state of patients with arterial hypertension was recorded in 46% of men and 50% of women, which indicates the presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.In healthy individuals, such manifestations were only in 92% of cases.Cardiac arrhythmias (AFEQT) were recorded in 54% of men and 50% of women with arterial hypertension, while in healthy individuals cardiac arrhythmias were not recorded (100%).Gender differences were almost not identified, which indicates the same negative effect of arterial hypertension and arrhythmias on men and women.Clinical analysis showed a negative impact of arterial hypertension on the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias.Thus, in patients with arterial hypertension of stage II, the total frequency of arrhythmias was 42.0 ± 3.0%, while in patients with arterial hypertension of stage III -68.5 ± 3.5% (p < 0.05).The frequency of supraventricular arrhythmias in these patients increased from 28.5 ± 2.5% to 44.0 ± 3.0%, ventricular arrhythmias -from 18.5 ± 2.0% to 35.5 ± 2.8%, atrial fibrillationfrom 14.5 ± 1.7% to 29.5 ± 2.4% (p < 0.05).Журнал «Перспективи та інновації науки» № 2(60) 2026
