FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to cardiology, and can be used to assess participation of autonomous nervous system (ANS) in the genesis of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) caused by psychoemotional factors in patients without a structural pathology of the heart. Mental tests (MT) are carried out: a mental Stroop test (MST), an anger return (AR), an arithmetic count (AC), a conversation on the disease (CD). If observing the decrease or disappearance of ventricular ectopic complexes (VEC) in at least one of the tests, as well as the increase or appearance of the VEC when performing the AC and/or CD tests, the increase in ANS parasympathetic activity is stated. If VEC appears or increases in the AR test, an increase in ANS sympathetic activity is judged. If VEC appears or increases during MST, both sympathetic and parasympathetic ANS activity is stated.
EFFECT: method enables simple and safe assessment of the contribution of various ANS sections to arrhythmogenesis in the patients with VA caused by psychoemotional factors, without the structural pathology of the heart, to determine both the management approach and the choice of antiarrhythmic drugs by evaluating the complex of the most significant mental tests.
