title="Kardiochirurgia dorosłychInfluence of hypertension on health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation assigned to coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Two-year follow-up",
abstract="  Aim:  The aim of the study was to compare 2-year health-related quality of life in patients with hypertension (group A) versus patients with normal blood pressure (group B) among 261 patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation who underwent early invasive strategy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).    Material and methods:  The study group comprised patients with an episode of rest angina within 24 hours prior to admission who additionally fulfilled at least one of the following criteria: 1) ST-segment depression (\&#8805;0.5 mm) in at least 2 contiguous leads, 2) transient ( 0.1 ng/ml) or CK-MB (>5 ng/ml). All patients were sent Short Form (SF-36) health surveys 2 years after hospitalization. 240 (92%) completed the questionnaire.  Group A comprised 157 patients whereas group B comprised 83 patients. Mental Component Summary Score (MCS) and Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) were compared between groups.    Results:  During the 2-year follow-up patients in group A more often required hospitalization (23 vs 10%,  p <0.01), but percutaneous coronary interventions were less frequent in this group (0 vs 5%, p=0.03). The rate of unstable angina during follow-up was similar in both groups (5 vs 5%, NS). We found worse health-related quality of life in patients in group A regarding both Physical (41.51\&#177;10.61 vs 42.58\&#177;6.74, p<0.004) and Mental Component Summary (45.54\&#177;12.35 vs 48.95\&#177;9.9, p<0.03).   Conclusion:  The perception of mental and physical health obtained on the basis of patients\&#8217; subjective opinion 2 years after CABG surgery is worse in patients with concomitant hypertension.",
