[Personality characteristics of patients with the cardiac type of neurocirculatory dystonia]. 1978

V F Vinogradov

The state of the psyche was studied in 128 patients with cardiac-type neurocirculator dystonia. The results of clinical examination and the Minnesota test (MMT) showed that with the increase of the subjective manifestations of the cardiac pain syndrome and extension of the zones of pain sense disorders in the left half of the chest, a clear tendency to an increase of the neurotic changes was revealed, which were found, respectively, in 61.9, 89,7 and 100% of patients examined with grade I, grade II and grade III cardialgia. The psychic disorders were predominantly of the hysterical and hypochondriac types, which should be borne in mind when prescribing treatment.
