[Decreased thresholds of pain sensation and defense flexor reflex in patients with ischemic heart disease]. 
It was demonstrated that patients with coronary heart disease with coronary angiographically documented stenosing coronary atherosclerosis and frequent episodes of angina pectoris had significantly higher pain threshold in response to electric skin irritation and greater defense unconditioned flexor reflex R-III threshold than healthy subjects and patients with chest pain of extracoronary genesis.
