ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION IN LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP

The aim of the study was to assess the dynamics of quality of life in elderly and senile patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a long-term follow-up. A retrospective analysis of 109 patients who underwent PCI was performed. Quality of life was assessed using the standardized SF-36 questionnaire. The data obtained showed a significant improvement in physical and psycho-emotional state indicators 6 months after the procedure. A decrease in angina symptoms and an increase in exercise tolerance were noted. The results confirm the effectiveness of PCI not only as a revascularization method, but also as a way to improve the quality of life in older age groups.
