[Tonicity of autonomic nervous system in patients with complicated gastroduodenal ulcer].

Investigation of autonomic nervous system tonicity has been undertaken in 34 healthy persons (control group I), in 30 patients with non-complicated duodenal ulcer (control group 2), 38 patients with complicated gastroduodenal ulcer (10--with perforation, 13--with bleeding, 15--with stenosis) and 32 patients in the long-term period. The patients age was from 17 to 75 years. 72 patients were males and 28--females. Results of the study showed, that among the patients with complicated gastroduodenal ulcer there were eutonics and sympathicotonics, among those with non-complicated ulcer disease sympathotonics prevailed. To predict occurrence of complicated ulcer, determination of the tone of vegetative nervous system in patients with non-complicated ulcer in period between attacks is recommended. Identification of phenotype characteristics of vegetative nervous system tone allows to predict development of possible postoperative complications in patients with gastroduodenal ulcer.
