Keywords:
somatoform autonomic dysfunction of the heartAbstract
The paper deals with the issue of the eligibility in Ukraine of such diagnoses as neurocirculatory dystonia and vegetative-vascular dystonia, taking into account the discrepancy between the ICD-10 and national health legislation. Also the issue is raised about negative impact on professional prognosis of railway-workers of the diagnosis of somatoform autonomic dysfunction of the heart, instead of vegetative-vascular dystonia, despite the fact that in practice they serve as different names of the same syndrome. The conclusion is made about necessity to establish in Ukraine a common approach to nomenclature and diagnostics of somatiс manifestations of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
