[Hemodynamic support of the psychoemotional reaction of ischemic heart disease patients].

A study of 44 coronary patients and 11 normal subjects (all of them males) demonstrated different patterns of circulatory response to psychoemotional stress in coronary patients, as compared to normal subjects. Hypokinetic circulatory response to psychoemotional stress is indicative of reduced myocardial contractility due to myocardial ischemia induced by a psychogenic stimulus, while hyperkinetic circulatory transformation in response to stress is a more adequate hemodynamic reaction in coronary patients.
