[Possibilities of correction of mental disorders and dyslipoproteinemia in patients with neurocirculatory asthenia]. / Vozmozhnosti korrektsii narushenii psikhiki i dislipoproteinemii u bol'nykh neirotsirkuliatornoi distoniei.

A total of 230 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) were investigated. Different mental disorders associated with the atherogenic nature of dyslipoproteinemia were revealed in the majority of patients using the clinical scale and MMPI test. Psychotropic agents used for a period of 2-4 mos improved the mental status of these patients, increased exercise tolerance, and decreased blood levels of free fatty acids (FFA). A course of exercise training (graded walking) for 4-6 mos. helped to enhance exercise tolerance, to lower the blood levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, FFA, the total fraction of low- and very low-density lipoproteins, to reduce manifestations of hypochondriasis, depression, and neurasthenia . The results obtained can be used for developing programs of NCD patients' rehabilitation.

Physical training (8 to 10 km walking at a rate of 5.5 km/h daily for 4 to 6 months) prescribed to patients suffering from neurocirculatory dystonia promoted amelioration of the patients' mental status, diminution of the hypochondriac and anxious-depressive manifestations of the disease, increased exercise tolerance, and led to the decline in the blood plasma of cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and of very low and low density lipoproteins.

A larger proportion of patients with neurocirculatory dystonia of the cardiac type was found to show atherogenic disturbances of lipid metabolism, the most changes being observed in subjects with the moderate and severe cardiac pain symptom, decreased exercise tolerance, mental disorders and being associated with the traits of a personality. Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were present in about half of the patients. As for blood lipids, free fatty acids showed higher concentrations to the greatest extent.

Only the concentration of essential fatty acids increases in blood serum under the effect of emotional stress in intact rabbits. In experimental dyslipoproteinemia, emotional stress, besides increasing the amount of essential fatty acids also causes marked changes of lipid metabolism of an atherogenic character. The mechanisms of lipidemia activation and maintenance are discussed.
