[Ulcus ventriculi healing time--anamnestic and psychosocial data].

An age group of patients with endoscopically ascertained florid ventricular ulcer was asked with regard to the aspects own anamnesis and family anamnesis, social descent, social state, sparetime planning, alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption as well as use of analgesics. After the control of the course the patients were subdivided into such ones with healing of the ulcer within 12 weeks and such ones with retarded healing. As comparative groups served patients with duodenal ulcer and patients with functional gastropathy. As a result the family anamnesis does not bring any significant differences. Male patients with retardedly healing ventricular ulcer in 23% of the cases suffered from diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension, before the first appearance of the disease they more frequently performed a responsible activity and were more frequently on shift work team patients with a healing corresponding to time. Females with retarded healing of the ventricular ulcer have in a higher percentage family problems and significantly more frequently take analgesics than the comparative groups. A decreased adaptation of the patients with ventricular ulcer with retarded healing is discussed and they are compared with the patients with duodenal ulcer.
