Clinical and Instrumental Features of Coronary Heart Disease in Patients with Comorbid Conditions

Abstract

Technical progress, improvements in medical care, and increased life expectancy have led to a steady increase in the number of patients with multiple diseases [1,10]. Domestic literature sources indicate that the incidence of comorbid pathology reaches 94.2%. It has been found that comorbid pathology is mainly represented by a combination of two or three nosologies, but in isolated cases one patient can combine up to 6-8 diseases simultaneously. Comorbid pathology aggravates the course of the underlying disease, leads to a change in the typical clinical picture, and causes fatal complications. In recent years, the study of comorbid pathology is becoming increasingly active, due to the complexity of diagnosis, the choice of primary treatment strategy, tactics for comorbid patients and the prevention of complications of comorbid diseases. Comorbidity not only affects the prognosis for life, but also increases the likelihood of death [ 2,3,11].
