Popis: Psychological testing using Eysenck Personality Inventory and immunological testing of 75 patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse revealed low production of interferon-gamma by blood lymphocytes and a correlation between interferon-gamma production and patient's temperament. Low neuroticism and extroversion scores were found in patients with normal interferon-gamma production. High neuroticism score was detected in 82% patients with lowest interferon-gamma production, which refers these patients to a group at high immunological risk and prompts the use of interferon and/or its inductors in complex therapy of these patients.
