Abstract
The problem of disorders associated with participation in hostilities («war syndromes»), remains relevant over a hundred years. The first scientific description of these diseases is known belongs to the American physician Jakob Mendes Da Costa. In the difficult history of the study of «war syndrome» have proposed various hypotheses and theories based on the principles of primary somatic factors, mental or social processes. However, at this moment there is no conclusive evidence of any pre-emptive effect of one factor on the occurrence of disease. To describe the «war syndrome» were used many terms, the most famous being the «soldier's heart» and Da Costa's syndrome.

Summary
The problem of disorders associated with participation in hostilities («war syndromes»), remains relevant over a hundred years. Arthur Bowen Myers в 1870 году в своей работе «Этиология и распространенность заболеваний сердца среди солдат» («On the etiology and prevalence of disease of the heart among soldiers») также рассматривал тяжелые снаряжения солдат (лямки рюкзаков с военными припасами сдавливают грудную клетку, препятствуя естественной ее экскурсии), как причину развития расстройства, названного им «кардиоваскулярный невроз» [5]. Ассоциированных с участием в боевых действиях, приобрела особенную актуальность во время первой мировой войны и стала серьезной причиной снижения боеспособности войск Антанты.
