Группу сравнения составили 56 больных с ФП и АГ, без экстракардиальных заболеваний. В работе оценивались клинические, антропометрические показатели, тест для оценки приверженности Мориски-Грина, результаты инструментальной диагностики: электрокардиография (ЭКГ); холтеровское мониторирование электрокардиограммы (ХМ ЭКГ), суточное мониторирование артериального давления (СМАД) – системы суточного мониторирования SCHILLER (Шиллер, Швейцария), Эхокардиография – в М и 2D режимах на аппарате Vivid 7 (General Electric, USA). Все статистические расчёты проводили в программе Rstudio (version 0.99.879, RStudio, Inc., MA, USA).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Среди больных с ФП и АГ было выявлено 66% с сопутствующей экстракардиальной коморбидной патологией, из них с СД 20% больных; ХОБЛ выявлена у 22% пациентов, а АО отмечалось у 44% пациентов. По частоте электроимпульсной терапии (ЭИТ) и медикаментозной терапии (МТ) клинические группы были сопоставимы. Доказано, что пациенты, которым была проведена МТ, госпитализировались по поводу повторных приступов ФП достоверно чаще (р&lt;0,001) по сравнению с группой пациентов, которым проводилась ЭИТ. Приверженность к антиаритмической терапии низкая у всей когорты обследованных, а при сравнительном анализе между клиническими группами не было выявлено достоверных различий.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Ранняя диагностика факторов прогрессирования ФП, назначение дополнительной терапии для вторичной профилактики аритмии и выбор правильной стратегии ее лечения могут замедлить прогрессирование аритмии и развитие хронической сердечной недостаточности, что улучшает не только клинический статус пациентов, но и их прогноз.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To study the clinical course of atrial fibrillation in patients with arterial hypertension and extracardiac comorbid pathology depending on the administered therapy.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods. 207 men aged 45–65 years with atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal and persistent) and arterial hypertension in combination with diabetes mellitus (n = 40), abdominal obesity (n = 64) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 47) were recruited to a observational cohort study. 56 patients with atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension but without any extracardiac diseases were included in the comparison group. Clinical and anthropometric parameters were assessed in all patients. Adherence to therapy was estimated with the Morisky-Green test. All patients underwent ECG; electrocardiographic holter monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring with the Daily Monitoring Systems SCHILLER (Schiller, Switzerland), 2D and M-mode echocardiography using a Vivid 7 device (General Electric, USA). The statistical analysis was performed in the Rstudio software (version 0.99.879, RStudio, Inc., MA, USA).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. 66% of patients with atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension had concomitant extracardiac comorbid pathology, of them 20% of had diabetes mellitus, 22% with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 24% with abdominal obesity. The clinical groups were comparable in electro impulse and drug therapy. Patients who received medical treatment were frequently admitted to hospitals for atrial fibrillation recurrence (p&lt;0.001), compared with those who underwent electro impulse therapy. Adherence to antiarrhythmic therapy was low in the entire cohort of patients. There were no significant differences found between the clinical groups.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Early diagnosis of the factors contributing to the progression of AF, the prescription of additional therapy for the secondary prevention of arrhythmia and the choice of its optimal treatment strategy may slow the progression of arrhythmia and the development of CHF, which will improve not only the clinical status of patients, but also their prognosis.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>Сахарный диабет</kwd><kwd>Ожирение</kwd><kwd>ХОБЛ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>Arterial hypertension</kwd><kwd>Diabetes mellitus</kwd><kwd>Obesity</kwd><kwd>COPD</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Чазов Е.И., Голицына С.П.
