Influence of chronic obstructive illness of the lungs on the current of the postpericardicotomy syndrome in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting

One of the complications of aortocoronary bypass surgery is post-pericardiotomy syndrome, the development of which prolongs the length of stay in the hospital. It is known that this syndrome develops as a result of endothelial dysfunction and activation of the systemic inflammatory response. In this connection, it is necessary to compare the clinical data and the results of instrumental research methods to assess the effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the course of post-pericardicotomy syndrome. The study revealed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is not a predictor of the development of PCTS, but complicates its course.
