[Anxiety-depressive disorders in patients before and in the long terms after aortic replacement].

Objective: To study the structure and dynamics of anxiety-depressive disorders in patients with dissection/aneurysm of the ascending aorta and aortic arch before and in the long term after surgical treatment and to identify factors associated with disturbances in psycho-emotional status.

Material And Methods: We examined 124 patients with dissection/aneurysm of the ascending aorta and arch before and in the long-term period after aortic replacement, assessing anxiety and depression using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Beck Depression Questionnaires. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with clinically significant anxiety and depressive disorders.

[Impairment of cognitive functions in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after surgical treatment].

Objective: To study cognitive functions in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) before and in the long-term after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and to study factors that negatively affect cognitive status.

Material And Methods: One hundred and twenty-four patients with CTEPH were examined before and 6 months after surgery with an assessment of cognitive impairment using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting the MMSE indicators before and in the long-term postoperative periods.

[Features of psychoemotional status in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after cardiac surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic].

Objective: To study the features of the psychoemotional status in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in the long term after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify factors affecting the development of clinically pronounced anxiety and depressive disorders.

Material And Methods: Psychoemotional status was analyzed in 151 patients in the long term after PTE using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Assessment (GAD-7) and the Beck Depression Inventory. The number of patients who underwent COVID-19 was recorded and the functional status scale of the patient who underwent COVID-19 (PCFS) was evaluated.
