In 10 patients suffering from cardiac neurosis changes in plasma norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were studied by an upright bicycle exercise and during psychological stress. Psychometric tests were also performed. 6 healthy subjects served as a control group. At exercise, no relevant differences in blood pressure and heart rate regulation between patients and controls were present. The NE and E increase was normal and similar in both groups. During psychological stress an equal plasma NE increase was seen in both groups. During recovery, however, a sustained release of NE was present in patients. It is concluded that patients with cardiac neurosis respond to psychological stress by an inappropriate sustained activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
对10例心脏神经官能症患者，通过直立位自行车运动及心理应激研究了血浆去甲肾上腺素（NE）和肾上腺素（E）的变化。还进行了心理测试。6名健康受试者作为对照组。运动时，患者与对照组在血压和心率调节方面无显著差异。两组的NE和E升高均正常且相似。心理应激期间，两组血浆NE升高程度相同。然而，在恢复过程中，患者存在NE的持续释放。结论是，心脏神经官能症患者对心理应激的反应是交感神经系统不适当的持续激活。
