The paper provides findings from an examination of 26 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) with the hypertensive syndrome, 18 with NCD of the cardiac type (neurocirculatory asthenia), and 10 healthy subjects. Application of original psychological questionnaires made it possible to detect anxiety neurosis in a cardiac variant of NCD and neurosis with marked conversion in a hypertensive variant of NCD. In the latter, there was an increase in Na+/H+ and Li+/Na+ countertransport rates in the erythrocyte membrane, which was typical of essential hypertension. In the former variant, the Na+/H+ countertransport rate was lower in the erythrocyte membrane than that in the controls, whereas no differences were found in Li+/Na+ countertransport rates between the cardiac NCD patients and the controls.
