Clinical CHARACTERISTICS of children with neurocirculatory dystonia ON hypertonic type

Abstract

Objective: to study clinical characteristics of children with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) on hypertonic type. Material and methods . The study included 30 children aged 7-16 with NCD on hypertensive type who were undergoing a check-up or treatment at the Cardiologic Ward of Gomel Regional Children's Clinical Hospital. Results. According to the data of the clinical examination of the children with NCD on hypertensive type, it was found that the majority of the patients had neurological and cardiac complaints; intensive physical development, clinically non-significant arrhythmias, hypersympathicotonic vegetative reactivity, moderate exercise tolerance and labile arterial hypertension according to the data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring were predominant. Conclusion . The described clinical characteristics of the children with NCD on hypertonic type testify to the presence of functional shifts in the vegetative regulation in the patients of this group, which makes it possible to select a pathogenetically grounded therapy and to control its effectiveness.
