Abstract
Aim Improvement of quality of life is one of the most important goals for the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study searched for ways to increase the efficiency of CHF treatment based on parameters of quality of life in CHF patients during and after the treatment with exogenous phosphocreatine (EP).Material and methods The effect of a single course of EP treatment on quality of life of patients with functional class (FC) II-IV CHF with reduced or mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction was studied as a part of the all-Russia prospective observational study BYHEART. The presence of FC II-IV CHF and a left ventricular ejection fraction <50 % were confirmed by results of 6-min walk test (6MWT) and findings of echocardiography after stabilization of the background therapy.Results An interim data analysis showed that the course of EP treatment was associated with a significant improvement of quality-of-life indexes as determined by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (LHFQ) total score. These indexes significantly increased and remained at a satisfactory level for 6 mos. following completion of the treatment course. Also, the treatment significantly beneficially influenced the clinical condition of patients (heart failure severity scale), results of 6MWT, and the increase in left ventricular ejection fraction.Conclusion The conclusions based on results of the interim analysis should be confirmed by results of the completed study. Complete results are planned to be published in 2022.

Summary
Промежуточные результаты наблюдательного исследования BYHEART: влияние экзогенного фосфокреатина на качество жизни пациентов с хронической сердечной недостаточностью. Повышение качества жизни является одной из важнейших задач лечения пациентов с хронической сердечной недостаточностью (ХСН). Цель проводимого исследования заключается в поиске способов повышения эффективности методов лечения ХСН на основе изучения показателей качества жизни пациентов с ХСН в ходе и после завершения курса лечения экзогенным фосфокреатином (ЭФ).
