Comparison of Dyspnea, Quality of Life and Fatigue Levels in Heart Failure Patients with and without Pacemakers - A Preliminary Study

Abstract

Kalp Pili Olan ve Olmayan Kalp Yetmezliği Hastalarında Dispne, Yaşam Kalitesi ve Yorgunluk Düzeylerinin Karşılaştırılması - Ön Çalışma Öz Arka Plan/Amaç: Bu çalışmanın temel amacı kalp pili olan ve olmayan kalp yetmezliği hastalarında dispne, yaşam kalitesi ve yorgunluk düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktı. Ek olarak, çalışmamızın bir diğer amacı, kalp yetmezliği hastalarında dispne, yaşam kalitesi ve yorgunluk düzeyleri arasında da bir ilişki olup olmadığını incelemekti. Gereç Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Çorum-Hitit Üniversitesi Erol Olçok Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kalp Rehabilitasyon Ünitesi'nde kardiyolog tarafından kalp yetmezliği tanısı konulan 10'u kalp pili olan ve 10'u kalp pili olmayan toplam 20 kalp yetersizliği hastası dahil edildi. Dispne, yaşam kalitesi ve yorgunluk düzeyleri sırasıyla "Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (MmRC)", Minnesota Heart Failure Life Scale (MHF)", and "Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)" anketleri ile ölçüldü. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza yaş ortalaması 61,90±8,49 yıl olan kalp piline sahip 10, yaş ortalaması 59,30±10,68 yıl olan kalp piline sahip olmayan toplam 20 kalp yetersizliği hasta dahil edildi. Kalp pili olan ve olmayan kalp yetersizliği hastalarında dispne, yaşam kalitesi ve yorgunluk düzeyleri açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). 20 kalp yetersizliği hastasında dispne ile yorgunluk düzeyi arasında aynı yönde orta düzeyde bir korelasyon olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). Sonuçlar: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre kalp yetmezliği hastalarında kalp pili kullanımının dispne, yaşam kalitesi ve yorgunluk düzeylerine etkisinin olmadığı belirlendi. Ayrıca, kalp yetersizliği hastalarında dispne düzeyinin yorgunluk düzeyiyle ilişkili olduğu ancak yaşam kalitesiyle ilişkili olmadığı belirlendi.
