[Ischemic heart disease in elderly patients of behavioral type A (psychosocial and clinic functional changes, possibilities for correction)].

833 patients aged 32 to 74 years who had coronary heart disease (CHD) were examined. Psychosocial and clinicofunctional features typical for elderly people of behavioral type A and with diagnosed CHD and ways for treatment optimization and disease prophylaxis are being under consideration. We studied the clinical efficiency and influence of Anaprilin, Metoprolol, Phenazepam, non-medical methods on psychoendocrine parameters in CHD elderly patients with behavioral type A. In addition to positive changes in the anginal syndrome sleep, decreases in hot temper, irritability, anxiety, phobic manifestations, hypochondrial trends, and neurotic asthenization, increased working and social orientation were improved. During Anaprilin, Metoprolol, Phenazepam therapy, cardialgias reduced or disappered, the incidence of arrhythmia decreased. There was a reduction in the personality profile in the neurotic triad and psychoasthenia scales, the reactive anxiety diminished significantly, and levels of aldosterone, cortisol, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine in the blood decreased. Thus, supplementation of Anapriline, Metoprolol, Phenazepam to the combined therapy for patients with CHD of behavioral type A positively effected to the clinical course of the disease. Configuration of the personality profile was leveled in patients with CHD of coronary type, signs of behavioral type A decreased.
