В обзорной статье собраны современные представления об особенностях диагностики и мониторинга пациентов пожилого и старческого возраста с сердечной недостаточностью и стенокардией. Особое внимание уделено проблеме коморбидности пациентов старше 65 лет, что требует корректирующих действий при стратификации риска и прогнозировании клинических исходов. Отмечена приоритетность неинвазивных диагностических тестов. Рекомендована оценка хрупкости как неотъемлемой части диагностического процесса пациентов с сердечной недостаточностью и стенокардией ввиду чёткой связи с худшим прогнозом с точки зрения качества жизни, госпитализации и смертности. Review is about current information on the features of heart failure and angina diagnosis and monitoring in elderly and senile patients. One of the main problem in patients over 65 years is comorbidity, which requires corrective action in the risk stratification and prediction of clinical outcomes. The priority of non-invasive diagnostic tests is noted. Authors of the article recommend frailty as an obligatory part of diagnostic process in patients with heart failure and angina due to a clear connection with the worst prognosis in terms of quality of life, hospitalization and mortality.

Patients with heart failure have difficulty in self-care management, as daily monitoring and recognition of symptoms do not readily trigger an action to avoid hospital admissions. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of a nurse-led complex intervention on symptom recognition and fluid restriction. A latent growth model was designed to estimate the longitudinal effect of a nursing-led complex intervention on self-care management and quality-of-life changes in patients with heart failure and assessed by a pilot study performed on sixty-three patients (33 control, 30 intervention). Patients in the control group had a higher risk of hospitalisation (IRR 11.36; p < 0.001) and emergency admission (IRR 4.24; p < 0.001) at three-months follow-up. Analysis of the time scores demonstrated that the intervention group had a clear improvement in self-care behaviours (βSlope. Assignment_group = −0.881; p < 0.001) and in the quality of life (βSlope. Assignment_group = 1.739; p < 0.001). This study supports that a nurse-led programme on symptom recognition and fluid restriction can positively impact self-care behaviours and quality of life in patients with heart failure. This randomised controlled trial was retrospectively registered (NCT04892004).
