- Abstract
Risk factors, survival rate, and quality of life of non-operated and operated patients with complicated IHD (over 50% diameter narrowing of the LCA trunk, occlusion of 3-4 coronary arteries, left ventricular aneurysm and rhythm disturbances) have been studied. The disease course and prognosis are influenced by a number of risk factors. For the non-operated patients, these are the magnitude of narrowing and the number of occluded coronary arteries, the occlusion level, involvement of great coronary arteries, the dimensions of the cicatrical zone, reduced myocardial contractility, left ventricular end diastolic pressure of more than 20 mm Hg, patient's age, and rhythm disturbances revealed on standard resting ECG. The postoperative survival rate and quality of life are significantly improved as compared to the conservatively treated group. The major risk factor is incomplete postoperative myocardial revascularisation, and combined high-grade extrasystole with supraventricular arrhythmias.
