Abstract

The trial enrolled 119 women with systemic undifferentiated dysplasia of the connective tissue (DCT) aged 14-39 years; 86.6% of them had asthenic constitution. Ultrasound most frequently found prolapse of mitral cusps and accessory chord as in the left ventricle. Use of chest x-ray, echocardiography, ECG 24-h monitoring and transesophageal pacing discovered combination of heart dislocation, changed intracardiac structures, disturbed rhythm and conduction in 87 examinees. This provided the diagnosis of dysplastic heart syndrome. Multiple significant correlations between echocardiometric parameters, hormonal indices, neuroendocrine disorders, reproductive disorders point to close relations between cardiovascular and neuroendocrine systems in women with DCT.
