title: [Algesimetry in ischemic heart disease and neurocirculatory dystonia].
abstract: Algesimetry was used to study the pain sensitivity in 143 subjects (21 healthy individuals, 20 cases with neurocirculatory dystonia, 62 with chronic ischaemic heart disease and 40 with subacute myocardial infarction). The tests were performed for the tactile threshold, pain threshold, threshold of pain endurance and the interval of pain endurance. In a part of patients indices of pain sensitivity were correlated with tolerance to physical exertion. In neurocirculatory dystonia high pain sensitivity was due to the lowering of the pain threshold. In patients with ischaemic heart disease there were three types of pain threshold (low, medium, high) and two variants as concerns the interval of pain endurance (low and high). Low interval of pain endurance corresponded to low tolerance of physical exertion, hence algesimetry can serve as an additional method of objective interpretation of the bicycle ergometry tests.
