Abstract | AIM: SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred and sixty-one CVs were examined; their mean age was 42.8 +/- 0.7 years. All the patients underwent a clinical and neurological examination using additional studies. I.O. Kotenev's trauma stress questionnaire was used. The mean intensity of PTSD was 65.5 +/- 0.95 scores. Fasting biochemical blood tests were carried out using clinical chemical analyzers. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Neuroendocrine changes accompanying PTSD and leading to intensified adrenergic influences are an important trigger of accelerated hyperlipidemia development in CVs. Age-related changes and metabolic hepatic disorders associated with alcohol abuse and consequences of prior infectious diseases have become to play an important role in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemias in patients over 40-45 years of age.
