| Summary: | In 54 patients with drug-resistant non-valve atrial fibrillation, causes of decreased quality of life (QoL) were studied, using the Nottingham Health Profile and Arrhythmic Patients' Life Questionnaire. The influence of hemodynamic parameters, clinical features of arrhythmia, age, and principal pathology on QoL was also investigated. Ln patients with atrial fibrillation, QoL was mostly affected by arrhythmic symptoms and associated restrictions in daily activity, worsened psycho-emotional status, sleeping disturbances. Ln this group, QoL was determined mostly not by clinical symptoms, hemodynamic parameters, principal pathology or age, but by subjective reaction to arrhythmia. |
