[Meteoropathic reactions in patients with circulatory system diseases: their prevalence, the characteristics of their manifestation and their correction].

Presented in the paper are topical aspects of prevalence, specificities of manifestation, and correction of meteoropathologic reactions (MR) in disorders of the circulatory system. A total of 1260 patients were examined. Of these, 518 had hypertensive disease (HD), 198 were coronary (IHD) patients, 544 had HD concurrent with IHD. Based on the standardized questionnaire and results of clinical and instrumental studies meteorosensitivity was assessed, with meteorogramme having been taken into account. To correct MR aero- and balneoprocedures were used together with speleotherapy and physical training. High meteorologic factors sensitivity was ascertained in 67 percent of patients. MR frequency was found out to be related to overstrain, failure to stick to the daily time-table, bad habits, constitutional specificities, low physical activity. Depending on the features of manifestation three degrees of severity have come to be recognized in MR. A complex of measures designed to correct MR is submitted. The use of the above complex allowed the MR frequency to be reduced, their severity to be alleviated.
