[Association of structure-functional indices of the heart and psychoemotional factors in patients with duodenal ulcer].

Peptic ulcer is a disease of the upper part of the psychosomatic continuum, that allows to consider it as a result of mental maladjustment. The cross-sectional study examined 62 men with newly diagnosed duodenal ulcer, the average age of the surveyed was 21.5 ± 2.1 (M ± s). Men suffering from duodenal ulcer have a significant correlation of structure-functional indices of heart and psychoemotional factors examined. According to the step by step regression to coping-strategies "flight- avoidance" in a lot of left ventricular myocardium and the indexed rate ranged between 62-77%. Our data allow us to propose that the left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with duodenal ulcer with the normal level of blood pressure is morphological and functional expression of adaptation in response to various stressors and exposure on the force. The nature of stress changes their biochemical, hormonal, functional support, essential for uncovering the mechanisms of influence of stress on the development and course of systemic diseases, develop psychosomatic approach to prevention of functional and organic psychosomatic disease.
