Gender-age features and possibilities of predicting the quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction without elevation of ST-segment

Valentin I.  Maslovskyi

Summary. Predicting the course of acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation is one of the priority tasks of modern cardiology. The aim of the study – to analyze gender and age features and possibilities of predicting the quality of life in patients to assess the quality of life with myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation. Materials and Methods. We examined 200 patients with acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) aged 38 to 80 years. All patients were examined according to the current treatment protocol for patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation. Quality of life assessment was performed according to the valid MIDAS-35, which was conducted on the 5–7 day of hospitalization. Results. It was found that there are no statistically significant gender differences in the overall quality of life score on the MIDAS-35 scale. Also, there is a connection with the deterioration of quality of life and increasing age requirements. Conclusions. Predicting quality of life in this category of patients encourages the use of early invasive strategy in this category of patients
