[Psychoautonomic disorders in bronchial asthma patients].

The results of psychological and vegetative investigations in 142 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) demonstrated that BA gives rise to psychovegetative syndrome resultant from parasympathetic orientation of the vegetative tone and reactivity, weak vegetative support of muscular and mental activity. These vegetative shifts occur in line with enhanced ascending nonspecific activation and anxious-hypochondriac traits of personality.
