[Psychological characteristics of patients with cardialgia]
Abstract:
A psychological study, using the MMPI scale, the 16 PF test, the control locus test and Lüscher's color test, was carried out in 41 patients with chest pains, including 25 patients with mitral prolapse (MP) and 16 patients with first or second-stage essential hypertension, osteochondrosis and neurocirculatory dystonia. Psychological disadaptation with a sense of inner discomfort was found to be common for all patients. However, the pattern of disadaptation was different in patients with and without MP: MP-free patients had psychological problems, typical for neurotic personality, while the typical problems of the MP patients concerned interpersonal contacts, apparently as a result of unbalanced personality structures.
