The article describes the study of the quality of life in patients with acute decompensated heart fail- ure and comparison of data and a visual analogue scale of Kansas questionnaire in patients with acute decompensated heart failure and also their correlation with known prognostic factors such as level of inflammatory stress markers. Since there can not be a 'gold standard' profiles, their validity can be estimated taking into account the coefficient of correlation data profiles with the prognosis. To assess the quality of life parameters, a Kansas questionnaire was used. Each item was evaluated by patients in1 to 6 points.. Prognostically unfavorable in the questionnaire were the marks from 1 to 3. According to the results of the study, it was shown that the QOL questionnaire can serve not only as a marker for assessing the patient's treatment, but also as an indicator of the medium-term vital prognosis. Correla- tion of these parameters of QOL with objective parameters reflecting the function of the left ventricle, comorbid status (primarily, the state of the kidneys), as well as signs of inflammatory stress are noted.
