[Dynamics of the internal perception of their disease among patients with severe forms of arrhythmia treated with permanent cardiac electrostimulation].
A study of the disease insight in 80 patients with severe arrhythmias has shown a different nature of the initial understanding of the disease in patients with tachy- versus bradyarrhythmias. Following the surgery, in the majority of patients the understanding of the cardiostimulator transforms into the central component of the disease insight. The pathological disease insight in the postoperative period largely stems from incomplete information about the device and distorted interpretation by the patients of information concerning their future life with the cardiostimulator. Investigation of the time-course of the disease insight by the psychiatrist facilitates the differential therapeutic impact on affective and fixed-idea disorders and is helpful in training the personnel of the cardiosurgical department in minor psychotherapy methods, which contributes to improving the efficacy of rehabilitation measures.
