Dystonia microbial 10. Hypertensive neurocirculatory dystonia in children and adults: prevention and treatment. What are the main syndromes of SVD?


In fact, vegetovascular dystonia is indeed a complex of functional, i.e. not caused by organic damage to organs, symptoms that develop with inconsistent work of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Due to the violation of the relationship between the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the ANS, there is a disorder in the regulation of the functioning of internal organs. In addition, the body's ability to adequately and quickly respond to changes in external conditions suffers.

Factors causing VSD can be very diverse. They can be divided into two conditional groups:

  1. Internal- frequent stressful situations, hereditary predisposition, abrupt changes in hormonal levels.
  2. External- infectious and inflammatory diseases, various injuries, smoking and regular consumption of alcoholic beverages, chronic fatigue.

Symptoms depend on which organs are affected:

  • Heart and blood vessels- almost always, the patient has jumps in blood pressure, tachycardia or slowing of heart contractions, arrhythmia. There are headaches, dizziness, fainting, sweating, nausea, hyperemia or blanching of the face, freezing and numbness of the hands and feet.
  • Nervous system- increased nervous excitability, emotional lability, depressive states, astheno-neurotic syndrome, sleep disturbances, panic fears, neuroses, sexual disorders.
  • Respiratory system- constant lack of air, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, pain when trying to take a deep breath.
  • Digestive system- nausea up to bouts of vomiting, intestinal disorders, flatulence, pain in the abdomen, loss of appetite.

Depending on the prevailing symptoms, the following types of VVD are distinguished:

  • Hypertensive- manifestations of the disorder are similar to those of hypertension (increased blood pressure, headache and dizziness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, nausea, redness of the face, sweating, irritability).
  • hypotonic- lowering blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, bradycardia, air deficiency, apathy, drowsiness, high fatigue).
  • Cardiac- this type has manifestations characteristic of cardiac pathologies (pressing and burning pains behind the sternum, tingling sensations in the heart, shortness of breath, but organic lesions of the organ are not detected).
  • Mixed- manifestations of types can periodically replace each other.

Problems with the diagnosis of VVD lie in the fact that many of the symptoms of the disorder are similar to signs of other pathologies. The diagnosis of vegetative-vascular dystonia can only be made if, during the examination, other possibilities for the appearance of painful signs were excluded.

What is MKB?

ICD 10 is an international classification guide for diseases and health disorders. This classification of diseases is accepted in all countries of the World Health Organization and is updated every ten years. By the way, the next revision is scheduled for this year, 2017. Thanks to the unified designation of pathologies in the form of certain codes, specialists, regardless of the language barrier, understand what is at stake, without getting confused in names and terminology. In addition, ICD 10 makes it possible to collect medical statistics, compare the frequency of occurrence and the nature of the course of certain diseases in different parts of the world.

Necessary conditions for establishing the VSD according to ICD 10


The rule according to which vegetovascular dystonia is an independent disease was introduced more than fifty years ago in the Soviet Union, and today it is accepted in Russia and in the states that were once republics of the USSR. In Europe and the USA, they are trying to find out the true cause of health problems, conducting a variety of additional examinations for this. it is put only in the case when no pathological changes in the internal organs have been established that can cause the symptoms observed in the patient.

For the diagnosis of VVD is required:

  • Painful changes should concern one or more of the listed organs: heart, blood vessels, respiratory organs, esophagus, stomach, large intestine, urinary organs.
  • The patient for a long time should have chronic jumps in blood pressure, dizziness, headache, changes in heart rate, hyperemia, hand tremor.
  • The specialist must diagnose additional symptoms from one of the mentioned organ systems.
  • The patient should be extremely concerned about the seriousness of his condition, and no positive results of examinations, explanations of doctors and their attempts to dissuade a person of the severity and incurability of the disease can calm the patient and eliminate his fears and concerns.
  • Examinations do not show violations of the structure and functions of this organ system.

Vegetovascular dystonia, or neurocirculatory dysfunction, is especially common. Moreover, the violation is characterized by somatoform signs, which is explained by the fact that in adolescence, the growth rate of the body is inferior to massive hormonal changes.

How is VSD determined in ICD 10

Usually, vascular dystonia ICD 10 is coded in the class of diseases and disorders of the nervous system, in the range from G90 to G99. The disorder may be coded G90 (ANS disorders), G96 (other nerve disorders), or G98 (nerve disorders not classified in any other classes or divisions).

Also, a violation can be classified in the class of mental illness and disorders of the ICD under the code F45.3. In this case, the pathology is defined as somatoform autonomic dysfunction, and does not refer to neurosis or other pathologies of the psyche. The fact that a mental illness not recognized as a mental illness is in this class is explained by the fact that the compilers of the classification took into account that the mechanism for the development of the disorder is based on changes in the psycho-emotional state of the patient. In addition, VVD can be recorded under the code F45.8, which means other manifestations of emotional disorders. The assignment of a specific code depends, first of all, on the prevailing symptoms and on which doctor the patient consulted.

As is known, without effective therapy, VVD develops into a stable disease in about a third of patients. Since the heart and blood vessels are most often affected, after some time the patient can be confidently diagnosed with primary (I10) or secondary (I15) hypertension, coronary heart disease (I120-125). In some cases, as a result of VVD, gastritis (K29) or various forms of peptic ulcer (K25-28), bronchial asthma (J45) develop.

Allows you to collect statistics, compare incidence rates in medical institutions of various departments. Updated every 10 years, approved in all WHO countries. Thanks to the classification, differences in terminology are smoothed out, and the international medical community is able to speak the same language. In Russia, the ICD has been used since 1999 in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health. The next review of the international classification is scheduled for 2017.

What is the place of VVD among other diseases?

The term "vegetative-vascular dystonia" combines a complex of functional symptoms (that is, not caused by organic damage) that develop during disharmonious work of the autonomic (vegetative) nervous system (ANS).

There are many reasons that provoke the development of VVD:

  • Internal factors: hormonal imbalance, stress, heredity.
  • External factors: bad habits, infectious diseases, intoxications and injuries.

Symptoms that characterize vegetative-vascular dysfunction:

  • The most common manifestation is considered to be vascular pathology - neurocirculatory dystonia, arrhythmia, palpitations, increase or decrease in blood pressure, fainting.
  • Pathology of the respiratory system - asthma attacks, psychogenic shortness of breath.
  • From the digestive tract - obsessive nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
  • Neurological and mental vegetative symptoms - hiccups, irritability, insomnia, panic attacks, sexual disorders.

Such a polyetiology and diverse symptoms of the syndrome do not allow us to define it as a self-sufficient nosological unit with a specific location in the ICD-10. Vegetovascular dystonia with its symptom complex is characteristic of a large number of diseases of the body systems, as well as mental disorders and neuroses.

How the International Classification of Diseases defines VVD

Vegetative-vascular dystonia is a concept that is widespread in Russia and the former republics of the USSR. It will not work to find it in the international classification in the classical sense of domestic doctors.

Despite this, one of the manifestations of VVD (neurocirculatory or vascular dystonia, cardioneurosis) still has its own code in the ICD-10 and is defined as "Somatoform autonomic dysfunction", code F45.3.

Finding a somatoform imbalance in class V of the ICD (“Mental disorders and behavioral disorders”) determines that only a psychiatrist (psychoneurologist) can put code F45.3. However, neurocirculatory (vascular) dysfunction is not a mental pathology or neurosis. The reason for this discrepancy is that when compiling the classification, it was considered important to take into account the psycho-emotional nature of somatophoric imbalance.

If consultation with a psychoneurologist is not possible, then neurocirculatory dysfunction is coded as R45.8 (Other symptoms and signs related to the emotional state).

The psychosomatic component of VVD, if left untreated, in 20% of cases can contribute to the sustainable formation of various diseases. As a result, depending on the developed disease, vegetative-vascular dystonia receives its own ICD code. Since it is more often a vascular pathology, hypertension develops first of all (primary - I10, secondary - I15) and coronary heart disease I120–I125. Less commonly, VVD leads to bronchial asthma J45, peptic ulcer K25-28, gastritis K29.

Classification of vegetovascular dystonia according to ICD-10

What is the ICD-10 VSD code? The doctor will answer this question. Vegetovascular dystonia and neurocirculatory dystonia according to the international classification of diseases (ICD-10) has a universal international code G90.8. Although, due to the absence of a specific focus, this disease belongs to the class of diseases of the nervous system, and specifically, to the sub-block "Other diseases and disorders of the National Assembly" (according to ICD-10, the range of codes here is from G90 to G99). It has been proven that CNS diseases affect all body systems. They are especially susceptible to children of younger and adolescence, and after puberty, the statistics go down.

International definition

The classical scientific definition of VVD is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system in violation of the functions of various body systems and the absence of organic changes.

Symptoms of VVD of a mixed type. A disorder of the autonomic system leads to certain deviations in the work of the cardiovascular, digestive and nervous systems (such symptoms are typical for somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, the code of which, according to ICD-10 F45.3, but this classification is conditional). Although the very nature of the disease is still not well understood, and it is classified as difficult to diagnose.

There are classic symptoms of VSD:

  1. Sharp jumps in pressure, which are not justified in any way (critical readings can be both at the upper and lower levels).
  2. Violation of the rhythm of the heartbeat (usually accompanied by nosebleeds, lowering the temperature of the extremities).
  3. Sleep disturbance (most often this is insomnia, which can be dealt with with the help of potent drugs or alcohol).
  4. Headache.
  5. Constant weakness (unwillingness to work, apathy, lethargy, drowsiness during the day).
  6. Mood swings, aggressiveness, nervousness.
  7. Problems with vision and hearing.
  8. Memory impairment.
  9. Digestive problems (diarrhea, constipation, causeless vomiting, constant nausea).
  10. Panic attacks.
  11. Intolerance to extreme heat or extreme cold.
  12. Pathological asthma attacks, shortness of breath.
  13. Hiccup.
  14. Possible sexual dysfunction.

All these symptoms are quite arbitrary. Symptoms can be combined (VSD of a mixed type), periodically disappear and return again. In many ways, the nature of the course of the disease depends on the age of the person, his character and the presence or absence of chronic diseases. The hypertensive type of VVD, in addition, is characterized by malfunctioning of the heart, severe pain in the sternum, sweating.

VSD types

Based on certain, typical symptoms, VVD is divided into the following types.

  1. Cardiological type of VVD or neurocirculatory dystonia. With this type of disease, the pain focus is localized in the chest area, on the left side. It can be palpable backache, tingling, or just a very strong, nagging pain that appears at any time of the day or night, even when the threshold of physical activity (or peak physical activity) is not exceeded. NCD is the most serious type of disease, the treatment of which is associated with certain difficulties.
  2. Bradycardic type of VSD. This type of disease is most common in young people. The main cause of the disease is an unreasonable decrease in the frequency of heart contractions, which in turn leads to a reduction in oxygen saturation of the brain. As a result, lethargy, apathy, constant feeling of fatigue, depression, and in especially severe cases, the inability to carry out any meaningful actions.
  3. Arrhythmic type of VSD. This disease manifests itself in constant and unpredictable jumps in blood pressure, accompanied by clouding of consciousness, a feeling of lightheadedness, dizziness, and weakness. This type of disease is typical for those who have certain problems with the vessels and the spine.

Experts distinguish between VSD according to the hypertensive type (most often it develops in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle) and VVD according to the hypotonic type (a small child can suffer from this type of disease; it manifests itself in the form of low blood pressure). According to the ICD-10, the most commonly diagnosed diagnoses are hypertension (arterial hypertension) with the code I10-I15.

What are the causes of the disease?

Causes of vegetovascular dystonia. According to statistics, at risk (people who are prone to vegetovascular disorders) are those who lead an incorrect, unhealthy lifestyle:

  • spend little time outdoors
  • experiencing constant stress at work;
  • work in hazardous production or are engaged in heavy physical labor.

An unhealthy lifestyle leads to a decrease in immunity, weakens the body and natural, genetic barriers.

Vegetative-vascular dystonia (ICD-10 code G90.8) of various types develops for the following reasons:

  1. Prolonged stay in a state of nervous tension. It may be associated with responsible work, personal troubles, but this leads to a malfunction of the internal organs.
  2. Chronic sleep deprivation. There are many reasons for sleep disturbance, but if the brain is not given a proper rest for a long time, then certain coordination failures occur in its work.
  3. Diseases of the back and spine. Osteochondrosis, scoliosis - these are the problems that lead to the failure of the central nervous system, and hence to malfunctions of almost all internal organs.
  4. Wrong nutrition. Firstly, malnutrition leads to an imbalance in the body of vitamins and microelements, which in turn leads to a malfunction of many internal organs and the central nervous system. And secondly, malnutrition can lead to obesity, and excess weight affects the functioning of the heart muscle. All this leads to the development of VSD.
  5. Injuries of any kind, especially the spine and head, lead to disruption of the autonomic nervous system and the development of VVD.
  6. Sedentary lifestyle. The lack of regular exercise leads to a weakening of the heart muscle, to a failure in the work of all internal organs.
  7. Hormonal changes. At risk are adolescents, women during pregnancy and menopause, people suffering from diseases of the thyroid gland, liver. Ovarian dysfunction in women can lead to the development of NCD.
  8. genetic predisposition. Usually, VVD develops in children if the mother during pregnancy led an unhealthy lifestyle or was in a state of severe stress.

There is no way to determine the cause of the VVD on your own. But if the symptoms described above have become chronic, you should immediately consult a doctor and insist on a detailed diagnosis.

Diagnostic work of a doctor. The general practitioner cannot independently diagnose VVD, he needs not only to conduct various tests, but also to involve various specialists for consultation. Although a certain algorithm of actions can be illuminated.

Interviewing the patient: the doctor must understand the possible causes and history of the disease, the intensity of the symptoms.

Examination: a change in the color of the skin, a violation of posture can tell a specialist a lot about what pathological processes are taking place in the patient's body.

Conducting an ECG (to exclude problems in the work of the heart or, conversely, to identify them).

Rheovasography - the study of the filling of blood vessels.

Consultations with specialized specialists to identify deviations in the work of body systems and in the work of the National Assembly.

Only after all studies and consultations can the patient be diagnosed and the correct treatment prescribed.

Treatment Methods

Treatment of vegetovascular dystonia. It is necessary to carry out a comprehensive, systematic treatment in order to cope with internal and external factors that provoke the appearance of VVD:

  1. The doctor must recommend to normalize the mode of work and rest: a person with VVD should sleep at least 8 hours a day.
  2. Assign physiotherapy exercises: gymnastics, swimming, or classes on a treadmill or exercise bike are perfect.
  3. Recommend a consultation with a nutritionist who will help bring the nutrition system back to normal.
  4. Prescribe sedatives.
  5. Force to give up bad habits or explain the direct dependence of the aggravation of the condition on the use of alcohol and smoking.
  6. Schedule a consultation with a psychologist.
  7. Appointment of vitamin complexes.

The doctor will have to conduct a comprehensive treatment of all chronic diseases, eliminate all infectious foci in the body in order to prevent the development of VVD.

Prevention measures

To prevent the disease, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination once a year. Visit special resorts and sanatoriums. If a relapse occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor, since a neglected VVD of any type can lead to the development of other diseases (for example, gastritis, bronchial asthma).

VSD according to ICD 10

This person has “twisted” himself so much that he is experiencing real pain. This is something incomprehensible, but it is more connected with the psyche, although the nervous system is also affected. It is not clear what happened to him, but his illness has nothing to do with the pathology of the organs, although we used to think otherwise. If this “otherwise” is expressed in the fact that the patient complains of the heart more often than of the stomach or headaches, then the type of this “something” is hypertensive or cardiac, but there are other types that affect all systems that are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. .

The diagnosis of VVD is mainly made by specialists of the post-Soviet information space. In the West, now they only talk about somaform dysfunctions, which, among others, also have their own mental syndrome. The mind can work wonders. Sometimes they have a positive expression, but it happens that they are negative. Then there is a phenomenon called "psychosomatic disorders".

There is no vegetovascular dystonia in the ICD

There is a catch in the definition itself. It combines the Greek words psyche and soma - "soul" and "body". The first immediately puzzles scientists. Behind it lies something so strange, from which it breathes bioenergetics, science not recognized, so scientists are talking about the nervous system. However, there is no VSD in ICD 10. It is not necessary to think that it is "carefully" attributed to a block of other disorders. It simply doesn't exist. Not only her, but also the so-called "neurocirculatory dystonia". VSD code according to ICD 10 does not have any. There are only somatoform vegetative dysfunctions - namely bodily ones. Yes, and they are identified by exclusion. If doctors do not detect coronary heart disease, hypertension and the like, that is, diseases that can cause secondary hypertension, or mental disorders of a certain type, then this is referred to as SVD. And you definitely shouldn’t look for VSD in the ICD. It does not have a VSD code according to ICD 10 in children and adults.

The main feature of VVD, or what is called so, is that patients can list their symptoms for a very long time and point to almost any part of the body. However, some localizations still stand out. Most often, these are the areas of the heart, stomach and head, and the genitourinary system. Thus, types of VSD were formed. This does not mean at all that the ICD 10 VVD code for the hypertensive type will appear from this. It's just that the patient often complains of pressure than anything else. The complaints themselves remain precisely them, and studies do not show the presence of somatic diseases or show no more than in relatively healthy people.

VVD, or what is called that, has its own pathogenesis. In this case, we are dealing with a special condition that can create the illusion that many hypothalamic structures are involved in the course of the disease. At the same time, the line between illusions and reality is erased by the symptomatology itself. We proceed from the fact that this is not a conscious simulation and not hypochondria. This assumption is confirmed primarily by the fact that patients are willing to pay a lot of money - if only they feel better.

The classic VSD combines many symptoms, but the ICD 10 VSD code for a mixed type does not arise from this either. SVD has block code F45. This is a disease or condition when patients repeatedly present somatic symptoms and insistently demand to find the cause of their ailment.

It is better to call it the syndrome of mixed crises. It is expressed by the simultaneous or successive manifestation of syndromes of various types. At the bodily level, this can manifest itself in the form of red dermographism, spots in the upper half of the chest, eversion and tremor of the hands, sharp jumps in body temperature and any temperature asymmetry.

Interestingly, almost all syndromes that are associated with VVD are observed in parallel with at least some kind of mental disorder syndrome. Often they remain in the shadows and do not receive due attention. These can be behavioral, cognitive and motivational disorders. The emotional sphere is unstable, although there are no obvious signs of bipolar affective disorder. Rather, we can talk about emotional instability. Patients can be whiny in the literal sense. They are not just prone to pessimism, but often cannot hold back tears, although they do not experience strong torments. Almost everyone has a sleep disorder. They usually have difficulty falling asleep at night, but may fall asleep during the daytime. There are also some signs of an anxiety disorder. Often people have difficulty making decisions, and they can easily abandon those made or do the opposite, contrary to their original aspirations. Diagnosis is hampered by the presence of many neurosis-like states.

So, there are clear signs of separation of everything that was once attributed to VVD to SVD - somatoform vegetative dysfunction, which also has its own syndrome of mental disorders, and a variety of other disorders that can also have some kind of physical, bodily, i.e. e. somatic form. VVD does not have an ICD code and is not directly mentioned in it in any way, and SVD is assigned classes F45.

It's not just a matter of terms. Vegetovascular dystonia did not receive the ICD code, since it meant both psychosomatic and diseases provoked by a disorder of the nervous system, which are similar, but have more bodily forms.

ICD 10 codes for "VVD diseases"

Domestic experts are well aware that the complexes of symptoms in this disease are sympathetic, parasympathetic and mixed. What we often call VVD of a mixed type implies the presence of patient complaints about the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory or genitourinary system. All of them are innervated and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, but in the ICD 10 VSD for a mixed type is F45.3, the block "Somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system." It takes into account all these types of symptoms, but excludes psychological factors that affect the physical condition. At the same time, F45.3 does not distinguish separately the hypertensive or cardiac type of dysfunction.

What are the main syndromes of SVD?

  • Syndrome of adaptive disorders. These are violations in the field of the body's ability to respond correctly to adverse conditions. Often associated with anxiety. When an adaptation syndrome occurs, patients lose a lot of weight, various signs of metabolic disorders are noticed.
  • Asthenic syndrome. Nervous weakness, fatigue, inability to do hard work or be under mental stress. For example, the patient may break into a cry over trifles.
  • hyperventilation syndrome. It seems to patients that they do not have enough air, that they are suffocating. At the time of the crisis, people try to make frequent shallow breaths. They complain that the chest seems to be squeezing some heavy object. There is also a sensation of a spasmodic lump in the throat.
  • neurogastric syndrome. Any disorders that are somehow related to the motor-evacuation and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal system. These are constipation, flatulence, heartburn, nausea.
  • Cardiovascular syndrome. Pain in the left side of the chest, which is always associated with some kind of negative experiences, but never occurs due to physical exertion. Coronalytics do not help, and ECG and other methods of studying heart disease do not reveal. Of course, this is what is called the IRR for the hypotonic type and that in ICD 10 refers to the region of the SVD.
  • Cerebrovascular syndrome. These are pains in the head, which are of a protracted nature and are sometimes localized in certain places. There may also be tinnitus, dizziness and a condition where the patient complains that he almost fainted.
  • Syndrome of peripheral vascular disorders. These are swelling of tissues, a change in their color, angiotrophoneurosis and the like.

As you can see, despite the fact that ICD 10 does not have codes for diseases of the VVD and refers them all to somatoform disorders of the nervous system, there are many syndromes. All of them are connected in one way or another with the psyche. For example, pain in the region of the heart gives rise to a hypochondriacal reaction, and a general depressed state is to some extent associated with depression.

Diagnosis and treatment of this disease is a difficult and long process. However, everything that is traditionally attributed to VVD is most often secondary and occurs as a result or against the background of exclusively mental disorders. Characteristically, drug treatment is usually associated with a scheme, the core of which is drugs familiar primarily to psychiatrists and psychotherapists. First of all, these are antidepressants, which reduce the feeling of anxiety, restore the working capacity and activity of patients. Sometimes tranquilizers are used. Basically, they are prescribed to patients who complain of sleep disturbance and tachycardia. True, taking sedatives is associated with the risk of addiction. Nootropics are prescribed as auxiliary drugs. They are mainly needed by patients with cerebrovascular syndrome.

Treatment with psychotherapy methods

The main difficulty of psychotherapy lies in the fact that it is very difficult for patients to rebuild their attitude towards the disease. For example, one of the types of crises that were and are attributed to VVD are panic attacks. Many symptoms are very similar: tachycardia, a slight decrease in pressure, trembling in the hands, a feeling of lack of air, and a number of others. This led to the mistaken belief that the cause lies in the disorder of the autonomic nervous system. As a result, patients were treated mainly by neurological methods. It is difficult to say for sure whether such treatment helped them. It is possible that it helped someone. However, the problem remained mysterious and there was no clear picture that would reveal the etiology and pathogenesis completely. The situation changed only when panic attacks began to be considered as a mental disorder.

Imagine the reaction of a person whose heart beat with great frequency, his head was spinning. Rather, he lost his orientation in space. His legs buckled and he barely had time to hobble to the bench, and there he was suffocating. He will easily believe in the term "vegetovascular dystonia", because it is associated with something bodily, and his problems had a very bright bodily expression. People consider mental disorders as hallucinations - visual or auditory, obsessive thoughts, a tendency to make extrajudicial judgments. If a person just sits and looks sad, you can also believe that the problem is mental. But a heart that beats with such frequency and suddenly some kind of psyche? It seems to people that the cardiologists were just too lazy to find the disease and treat it, so they sent me to a psychotherapist. The result is a large vicious circle.

The topic of treating a disease with such a colorful set of symptoms by psychotherapy methods is surprisingly not mastered by specialists. Although the diagnosis is one of the most common. Practice shows that the therapeutic approach can be effective.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the methodology of body-oriented psychotherapy. In its modern form, these are breathing practices and exercises that are somewhat reminiscent of yoga. With all these syndromes, the development of relaxation methods and auto-training will be of great help. A cognitive approach will make it possible to normalize your life, change the routine for and give up bad habits. Unfortunately, many patients consider this to be of minor or almost no importance. Stories that a change in lifestyle and thinking will help to cope with such serious problems are received with great skepticism. However, this is not the case…

For example, smoking cessation and the use of breathing exercises help to forget about the syndromes associated with the heart and breathing forever, approximately 80% of patients. The problem is that it's not so easy to get rid of it. Only a psychologist or a narcologist can provide medical assistance in this matter.

VSD according to ICD-10

Vegetative-vascular dystonia is not included in the ICD-10 as a separate disease, since doctors usually make a different diagnosis, in which it manifests itself as a composite symptom. This syndrome is caused by various types of disorders of the body, ranging from cardiac dysfunction to psychovegetative.

Features of the disease

Since vegetative-vascular dystonia cannot be considered an independent disease even according to the International Classification of Diseases, there are always certain reasons that led to its development. At the moment, they have not been established with certainty. There is an opinion that vegetative-vascular dystonia is a consequence of internal pathologies of various organs. But its symptoms are also manifested as a result of constant stressful situations.

According to official medicine, VVD is considered a ghost disease, but its signs are observed in almost 80% of the total population. Of particular danger are vegetative crises, during which the patient may feel unwell, suffer a panic attack.

The symptoms of this disease are not taken seriously by many, but they can be a signal of more serious disorders affecting several organs at once. Such dysfunction will only worsen over time, leading to dangerous conditions.

Types of dystonia

The ICD-10 VSD does not have a separate code, but there are violations included in this classification that cause the disease. It is on the basis of them that the diagnosis will be made. Therefore, cardiovascular dystonia is divided into several types, depending on the type of dysfunction.

hypertonic type

Hypertensive VSD is one of the most common symptoms. According to ICD-10, the disease code will be either I10 or I15, which means, respectively, the first and second stages of arterial hypertension. Symptoms appear as follows:

  • Headaches;
  • Fatigue, bad mood;
  • Mitral valve prolapse;
  • Increased blood pressure;

According to the hypertensive type of ICD-10, vegetative-vascular dystonia is treated with the help of psychosomatic practices, drug therapy that stabilizes blood pressure jumps, as well as daily physical activity.

Hypotonic type

Unlike the previous type of disease, with hypotonic type VSD, a decrease in pressure occurs. According to ICD-10, it refers to the classification of psychosomatic pathologies, therefore the code is affixed individually. It may be F45.3, that is, a code meaning somatomorphic dysfunctions. According to the hypotonic type of the disease, vegetative-vascular dystonia has a number of signs:

  1. Bradycardia or tachycardia;
  2. Pallor;
  3. low blood pressure;
  4. Headache;
  5. Weakness, cold sweat;
  6. Dizziness;
  7. Allergic reactions.

For the treatment of the disease, as in the case of VVD of the hypertensive type, a complex of psychophysical methods, medicines, as well as traditional medicine are used.

Mixed type of VSD

According to ICD-10, there is no specific classification of the disease corresponding to the mixed type of VVD. In each case, the cause is established separately, determining the causes purely individually. With this type of disorder, vegetative-vascular dystonia manifests itself due to a violation between the parasympathetic and sympathetic parts of the body.

The symptoms of the disease are as follows:

  • Adynamia;
  • Hypotension or hypertension;
  • Pains: headaches and in the heart;
  • Weakness, apathy.

The main method of influence is psychosomatic, other methods of treatment are not used.

Cardiac view

Vegetative-vascular dystonia according to the cardiac type is manifested by pallor of the skin, sometimes the chest is not too developed. Since the nervous sympathetic system is periodically in good shape, the complexion remains unchanged, although pains in the heart appear more. If at the same time any adverse factors, even stress, act on a person, then the condition with VVD is aggravated by discomfort, a feeling of constant fatigue.

Pain in the heart with a disease of the cardiac type is caused due to a paradoxical reaction of the body, a sharp narrowing of the lumen. Before the attack, the myocardium itself is relaxed, but vegetative-vascular dystonia can manifest itself at any time.

VVD of this type is sometimes treated under the supervision of a doctor, but a healthy lifestyle also plays a significant role. After all, avoiding the development of the disease will be much easier than conducting long-term therapy.

Sometimes, according to ICD-10, the cause of VVD is code R45.8, which means other types of symptoms that relate to an emotional state. The establishment of a specific diagnosis determines the further methodology of treatment. So, sometimes psychological help may be required, in other cases, the condition is normalized by lifestyle changes and the use of drug therapy.

The fact is that in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10) there are no such diseases as vegetative-vascular dystonia and neurocirculatory dystonia. Official medicine still refuses to recognize VVD as a separate disease.

Therefore, VSD is often determined as part of another disease, the symptoms of which are manifested in the patient and which is indicated in the ICD-10.

For example, with VSD of the hypertensive type, they can be diagnosed with Arterial hypertension (hypertension). Accordingly, the ICD-10 code will be I10 (primary hypertension) or I15 (secondary hypertension).

Very often, VSD can be defined as a symptom complex characteristic of somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. In this case, the ICD-10 code will be F45.3. Here the diagnosis should be made by a psychiatrist or neuropsychiatrist.

Also, VVD is often defined as "Other symptoms and signs related to the emotional state" (code R45.8). In this case, consultation with a psychiatrist is not required.

NDC classification

1. Nid by cardial type

2. NDC for hypertensive type

Information related to "NDC classification"

According to ICD-10, NDC refers to somatoform autonomic dysfunction (section F45.3), which occurs with a violation of the nervous regulation of the circulatory system. In Ukraine, the classification of NDC has been adopted, in which the following types are distinguished: cardiac, including cardialgic and arrhythmic variants; hypertensive; hypotensive; mixed. NDC by cardiac type corresponds to

NCD is a polyetiological functional neurogenic disease of the cardiovascular system, which is based on disorders of neuroendocrine regulation with multiple and varied clinical symptoms arising or aggravated against the background of stressful influences, characterized by a benign course and a favorable prognosis. The term NDC was proposed by N.N. Savitsky (1948) and G.F.

Functional disorders are realized in the form of dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system, which has a regulatory effect on the circulatory system through the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Under the influence of etiological factors, the neurohormonal-metabolic regulation is disintegrated at the level of the cerebral cortex, limbic zone and

On the ECG, in most patients, pathological changes are not detected, sometimes nonspecific changes in the P wave are noted, often disorders of the function of automatism and excitability (sinus tachycardia, pacemaker migration, polytopic extrasystole), as well as rhythm disturbances such as supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia. The frequency of extrasystolic arrhythmia in patients with NCD

Functional disorders of the cardiovascular system are extremely widespread, especially among young and middle-aged people. According to numerous epidemiological studies in the population, vegetative disorders are noted in 25-80% of cases. In the general structure of cardiovascular diseases, NDC, which is based on autonomic disorders, is

The classification of cytokines can be carried out according to their biochemical and biological properties, as well as according to the types of receptors through which cytokines carry out their biological functions. The classification of cytokines by structure (Table 1) takes into account not only the amino acid sequence, but primarily the tertiary structure of the protein, which more accurately reflects the evolutionary origin of molecules)
