Abstract

The study of heart rate variability and the function of the pituitary-adrenal axis was carried out in 91 patients with various forms of psoriasis. The tension of the regulatory systems of the heart rhythm and disorders of the autonomic nervous system observed in conditions of an active orthostatic test were established. Impairment of the autonomic nervous system was associated with high glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity of the adrenal glands. The difference in the heart rate, pituitary and adrenal hormones was revealed in patients with streptococcus-associated psoriasis and psoriasis without streptococcal association.
