Assessment of quality of life (QoL) of patients with COPD and with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

Conclusion: Patients with COPD and MI have lower QoL values in comparison with the group without COPD. COPD has a negative impact not only on physical parameters, but also on psychological and social functioning, which requires the optimization of therapeutic and rehabilitation measures in patients with concomitant bronchopulmonary pathology.
