[Psychoautonomic correlations in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation]
Aim:
To study psychovegetative correlations in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
Material And Methods:
The trial included 50 patients with non-rheumatic PAF and 20 healthy subjects. Clinical cardiological and cliniconeurological examinations, assessment of autonomic nervous system, emotional sphere, sleep disorders were performed.
Results:
The diagnosis of marked psychovegetative syndrome was made in all PAF patients. It manifested stronger in older women, young men, survivors of myocardial infarction or acute disorders of cerebral circulation, in frequent paroxysms of cardiac fibrillation, its long-term history, in night PAF attacks, in sleep apnea.
Conclusion:
The policy of antiarrhythmic antirecurrence therapy should consider modalities correcting psychovegetative disorders.
