Abstract
THE AIM of the investigation was to specify the quality of life (QL) indices and patters of attitude to disease of patients with severe chronic heart failure (CHF) and microalbuminuria (MA). PATIENTS AND METHODS. The efficiency of treatment of CHF with ACE inhibitors was investigated in 30 patients by clinical signs and quality of life criteria. RESULTS. Patients with severe heart failure had low indices of quality of life and nonadaptive patterns of attitude to disease. ACE inhibitor of prolonged effects lisinopril was found to be effective in treatment of heart failure both by somatic indices and by life quality characteristics. Patients constantly treated with lisinopril had more rational attitude to their disease. CONCLUSION. Treatment with lisinipril results in better somatic state of the patients, lower excretion of albumin with urine and improves indices of life quality.
