[Change in central hemodynamics and systolic phase structure as affected by reflexotherapy in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia]

Pal'tseva IS, Fisenko LA, Abbakumov SA.

Myocardial contractility was examined, using echo- and polycardiography, in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia. An increase was demonstrated in the duration of the phase of isometric tension, mechanical systole and cardiac index in the presence of raised peripheral resistance as well as increased energy spending and enhanced left-ventricular contraction. Auriculo-paravertebral method of reflexotherapy was applied, and the changed parameters returned to normal.
