Quality of life, anxiety and depressive disorders in patients with extrasystolic arrhythmia

Abstract

IntroductionThe aim of this study was to perform a comparative and economic analysis of the degree of development of anxiety-depressive disorder in patients with different types of extrasystolic arrhythmia using different assessment scales.Material and methodsThe study was conducted in 2018–2019 at the premises of clinic No. 4, involving 450 patients (Moscow, Russia). Patients were divided into three groups: with coronary heart disease (CHD) (147 patients), with myocardiodystrophy (MCD) (113) and with cardiopsychoneurosis (CPN) (190). Everyone underwent round-the-clock electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography. If symptoms of depressive disorder are detected in a timely manner, the risk of adverse cardiovascular diseases may be reduced.ResultsDepression and anxiety indicators on all three scales differed significantly (p ≤ 0.05) in patients with supraventricular extrasystole (more than 40 points on the Zung scale, 14 points on the Montgomery-Asberg depression scale, more than 38 points on Zung and 3 points on Covi anxiety scales). For patients with ventricular extrasystole, a significant difference was established between groups 1 and 2 only in terms of the level of depression on the Zung scale. Factors of psychogenic origin determine the development of cardiac rhythm disturbances.ConclusionsThe study showed that for supraventricular extrasystoles, these factors determine the overall health of the patient. The differences between the three groups are significant on all scales of depression and anxiety (p ≤ 0.05). The most susceptible to depression and anxiety are patients with extrasystolic arrhythmias diagnosed with CHD, as well as MCD.

Analysis of Early Warning Diagnostic Indexes and Influencing Factors of Anxiety and Depression in Patients with Arrhythmia

“…ere are various causes of depression, but only about 35% of depressed patients are caused by simple stress events, and about 65% of patients are related to somatic diseases [13]. Some studies have confirmed that depression can cause cortisol hyperfunction, improve sympathetic sensitivity, increase the corresponding hormone level in plasma, and then, cause insulin resistance, pancreatic islet secretion defect, lipid metabolism disorder, and other endocrine disorders, increase the incidence of obesity, and further aggravate the severity of arrhythmia [14,15]. e prognosis of arrhythmia is related to the etiology, inducement, evolution trend and whether it leads to serious hemodynamic disorder [16].…”

“…AF significantly increases the risk of death, cardiovascular complications, and also worsens the prognosis in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) [9][10][11], with increasing healthcare costs [12]. Moreover, arrhythmias have been associated with psychological morbidity, including the risk of depression [13].…”
