Special features of the vegetative nervous system functional condition in patients with oncological and non-oncological diseases

Abstract

Comparative study of the vegetative nervous system functional condition was performed in patients with the locomotor system oncological diseases (55 subjects) at the age of 37.4±17.2 years (M±ð) and in those with congenital and acquired heart diseases (51 subjects) at the age of 50.6±13.0 years. Control group included 23 normal testees at the age of 42.3±14.9 years. The sharp predominance of the vegetative nervous system sympathetic tone has been revealed in oncological patients. In cardiologic-profile patients sympathicotonia manifested less sharply. The significant increase of the vegetative nervous system sympathetic tone in oncological patients resulted in high level of vegetative dysfunctions. The revealed special features of the vegetative nervous system functional condition in the tested groups of patients should be taken into consideration for complex rehabilitation of such patients.
