Interrelationship of the peculiarities of the psychoemotional status, the activity of lipid peroxidation and the content of blood free fatty acids were studied in 64 CHD patients with arrhythmia. It was shown that prolonged and pronounced psychoemotional strain, high levels of the activity of free radical lipid oxidation and the content of nonesterified fatty acids in the blood of CHD patients promoted the development of cardiac rhythm disturbances, particularly of ventricular extrasystoles. Patients with the psychoemotional strain syndrome demonstrated direct correlation of an induced initial hemiluminiscence flash value and the level of a psychological pattern MMPI by scales 2, 6, 7, 0, as well as close direct correlation of the concentration of free fatty acids with scales 6, 8, F and negative correlation with scale 3. The detection of the psychoemotional strain syndrome in CHD patients, especially in combination with high levels of lipid peroxidation and nonesterified fatty acids in the blood, may evidently serve an important criterion for defining patients at high risk of developing arrhythmias.
