Computerized dynamic electrocardio-respirography with psychic load: new possibilities for preventive health care.
Proceeding from the role played by psychic load as a pathogenetic factor, its mechanism of action and its predominant importance in every-day life, a computerized system-analytical method was developed by which regulatory disorders may be realized under close-to-reality psychic load as possible risk factors or precursors of organically manifest illness. The method has already been introduced for routine preventive diagnostics under the heading of dynamic electrocardiography with standardized psychic load since cardiac arrhythmia, due to psychic load, has proved to be of particular relevance to preventive health care. The conditions for preventive health care and for further elucidation of psychophysiological regulation behavior have been substantially improved by its recent expansion to the level of dynamic electrocardio-respirography which additionally enables differentiated regulation-diagnostic evaluation of the respiratory system and its close interrelations with the cardiovascular system.
