  • Title: [The role of opisthorchiasis in development of the secondary neurocirculatory dystonia and myocardial metabolic changes].
    Author: Tiukalova LI, Posokhov IN, Beloborodova EI, Alekseeva AS.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2001; 73(11):81-3. PubMed ID: 11806216.
    Abstract:
    AIM: Clarification of opisthorchiasis role in development of secondary neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) and assessment of myocardial condition in patients with chronic opisthorchiasis (CO) with consideration of the disease duration and intensity of opisthorchotic invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The trial enrolled 120 patients with CO, 35 patients with cardial NSD and 33 healthy controls. RESULTS: In long history of opisthorchiasis and severe invasion, autonomic cardiovascular regulation was abnormal. If CO patients have NCD, myocardial 99mTc-pyrophosphate scintigraphy reveals diffuse metabolic lesion of the myocardium. Long-term autonomic dysregulation of the cardiovascular system in CO and absence of adequate therapy lead to formation of progressive autonomic imbalance syndrome with sympathetic hypertonicity provoking metabolic disturbances of the myocardium.
