FEATURES OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH PARATRAUMATIC ECZEMA WITH CONCOMITANT VARICOSIS AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
Relevance. In elderly and senile age there are changes in the neuroendocrine regulation in the body. Aim. In order to determine the status of cardiac activity autonomic regulation in elderly and old age patients with paratraumatic eczema 25 patients with paratraumatic eczema on the background of varicose symptom complex and hypertension aged 60-74 years, 25 patients with paratraumatic eczema on the background of varicose symptom complex and hypertension aged 75-89 years, 15 patients with paratraumatic eczema on the background of varicose veins, but no concomitant hypertension and 15 patients aged 20-35 years were studied. Methods and results. Signifi cant decrease in HRV fl uctuations has been established, especially in the high frequency HF, describing parasympathetic infl uence on the heart. Statistically signifi cant difference (p‹0.05) among patients with varicose eczema on the background of hypertension was established as compared with older patients (60-74 years) and patients without hypertension: 311.61±95 ms. (р‹0.001), 544.7±131 ms. (р‹0.01) and 662.9±127 ms. (р‹0.01), respectively. Conclusion. These data indicate that the state of cardiac autonomic regulation of patients with paratraumatic eczema directly correlates with the age and the presence of comorbidity (chronic venous failure and hypertension).
