Abstract

The subjects, 265 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) patients (mean age: 41.92 +/- 1.36 yr), were examined using spirometry, peak-flowmetry, body plethysmography, EchoCG, and bronchoscopy with biopsy and histologic study. A high-resolution method--rhythmocardiography with temporal statistical and spectral analysis of sinus rhythm variability at rest and at directed testing using hardware and software complex KAP-RK-01-Micor (Chelyabinsk)--was applied. The patients with BA displayed sinus node dysregulation, insufficient vegetative providence, significant depression of peripheral sympathico-parasympathetic regulation in general, intensification of humoral-and-metabolic influence on pacemaker cells in the sinus node, and the forming of a pathophysiological pattern of response to stimuli during tests.
