title: [Role of psychological factors in the developments of heart disease].
abstract: The main purpose of the study was the evaluation of the role of various types of the fixed predisposition in the patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and arterial hypertension (AH) in different groups of patients to find statistically significant associations between the types of fixed predisposition and risk factors of IHD. Three groups of patients were investigated: 72 patients with AH, 175 patients with IHD ( 74 with angina pectoris and 101 with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction) and 164 patients with IHD and AH. Reliable relationship were found between crude-dynamic type of the fixed predisposition and IHD and AH. No significant associations were revealed between types of the fixed predisposition and well-known risk factors of IHD and AH. On the basis of our investigations it may be concluded that the specific types of the fixed predisposition represent independent risk factors of IHD and AH. Determination of such risk-factors has great importance for the risk assessment of the heart diseases.
