[Results of using autogenic training in hypertensive patients].
The efficiency of autogenic training (AT) was assessed by analyzing the follow-up data on the status of 110 hypertensive patients (54 in the study, and 56 patients in the control group) over six months. AT helped to improve their psychological status and achieve a higher antihypertensive effect and better hemodynamic parameters (echocardiography) with lower doses of hypotensive drugs. The effect of AT was most prominent in patients with labile hypertension. The employment of AT in hypertension characterized by recurrent crises brought about either a reduction in their frequency or their total elimination in the majority of patients.
