title: [Complications in the cardiovascular system from neuroleptic treatment].
abstract: The arterial pressure fell abruptly in 23.38% of 124 psychic patients during the first days of treatment with neuroleptics. About two weeks later it gradually rose to its initial values. The patients who do not feel well with the low arterial pressure need peripheral stimulants such as Effortil, Mephentermin, etc. Other complications of the neuroleptic therapy are the rhythm and conduction cardiac disorders (19.96% of the patients over 60 years of age showed rhythm and conduction disorders--polytopic and multiple extrasystoles, ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia, atrioventricular block III degree). These patients need active surveillance and emergency treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs. The modern treatment of psychic diseases with larger doses of neuroleptics requires regular clinical and ECC control, especially in older patients.
