[The hemodynamic, tissue oxygen balance and muscle blood flow indices of patients with multiple sclerosis]

The central and peripheral hemodynamics, oxygen tension in the muscles and tissue local blood flow was studied in the course of complex treatment in 37 patients with multiple sclerosis. Remissions of the disease were characterized by the hyperkinetic type of blood circulation, increased vascular tone of the peripheral vessels against the background of an increase of oxygen tension in the muscles and enhancement of local tissue blood flow in the tissues. Severe forms of the disease, progressing course and exacerbation were distinguished by the hypokinetic type of blood circulation, dystonic and atonic state of the extremity blood vessels, reduced pO2 and local blood flow in the tissues.
