Influence of metabolic therapy on the adaptive potential of the cardiovascular system of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Abstract

During the last decade, scientific interest in researching the problem of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children has not faded. Despite the large number of published proceedings, this topic does not cease to interest specialists - not only doctors, but also pedagogical workers. This is explained by the fact that the problem of ADHD leads to social maladaptation and causes not only medical, but also pedagogical difficulties, which worsen the quality of life of the child and the family. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adaptive mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system of children with ADHD and the possibility of metabolic correction by using omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3-PUFA) and zinc agents.
