    Abstract:
    To study vegetative regulation and emotional status of ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients with various pain severity, 81 patients with IHD were examined. Personality characteristics were studied by the data of MMPI questionnaire, reactive and personal anxiety--of Spilberger questionnaire, depressive changes--of Beck's questionnaire, vegetative status--by vegetative discharge, Seattle angina questionnaire of life quality, heart rhythm variability and cardiovascular tests. All the patients have undergone clinical examination, exercise stress tests, echocardiography. Selective coronary angiography was made in some examinees. The patients were divided into two groups by anginal pain severity. The patients with more severe anginal pain had higher reactive and personal anxiety, neurotization. This was not associated with changes in the vegetative status and hemodynamics at rest. The detected emotional disorders in IHD patients may cause higher sensitivity of these patients to pain, on the one side, and changes in vegetative regulation of cardiovascular system and hemodynamics, on the other.
