STRESS AS A TRIGGER OF CHRONOTROPIC-INOTROPIC, PRESSOR CHANGES IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE IN COMBINATION WITH ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of stress on chronotropic-inotropic, pressor change in patients suffering from ischemic heart disease in combination with essential hypertension. The object of the research were 52 patients with the above mentioned pathology. The research results revealed a more pronounced chronotropic-inotropic activity of the heart, pressor rhythms during and after the verbal-colored Stroop test in patients suffering from stable exertional angina, III FC in combination with essential hypertension compared with stable exertional angina, FC II and cardiosclerosis with atherosclerotic heart failure and/or breach of rhythm. The most pronounced changes are typical for stable exertional angina, III FC in combination with hypertension III stage.
