Abstract
The aim of this study was to study the cardiovascular comorbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as the assessment of the risk of stroke and systemic thromboembolism on the scale CHA2DS2-VASc in patients with COPD with atrial fibrillation. Material and methods. 224 patients with COPD were examined, who had a long history of smoking (smoker's index 240 and smoking experience 40 packs/years). Research of function of external breath was studied with multimodular installation of type «Master-Lab/Jaeger». The Charlson index was used in the evaluation of comorbidity. An analysis of the risk of thromboembolic complications in patients with COPD with atrial fibrillation was performed on a scale of CHA2DS2-VASc. Results: Atrial fibrillation was noted in 10.7% ofpatients with COPD. The risk of stroke and system thromboembolism on the scale CHA2DS2-Е4Рс in COPD patients with atrial fibrillation was 3.27 ± 1.55 points in patients with COPD 2 st, and 3.0 ± 1.04 in patients with COPD 3 st. The correlation coefficient between the risk of stroke and system thromboembolism on the scale CHA2DS2-Е4Рс and the Charlson comorbidity index was 0.89, p <0,005.
