Photo-reflex-rheographical method in the evaluation of elastocompression.

R Del Guercio, M R Arpaia, G Leonardo

    International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology Research
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Graduated compression stockings combined with muscle activity effectively improve venous return flow in patients with varices. Reflex-rheography is a valuable, noninvasive tool for assessing these venous flow changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Phlebology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Varicose veins represent a common vascular condition affecting venous return.
    • Effective therapeutic strategies often involve managing venous pressure and flow.
    • The interplay between compression and mobilization is crucial for venous circulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of elastic stockings with graduated compression for varicose veins.
    • To assess the utility of reflex-rheography in measuring venous return variations.
    • To investigate the combined effect of elastocompression and muscular activity on venous hemodynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted on patients diagnosed with varicose veins.
    • Treatment involved the use of elastic stockings providing graduated compressive pressure.
    • Reflex-rheography was employed to noninvasively measure changes in venous return flow.

    Main Results:

    • Elastic stockings with graduated compression demonstrated efficacy in managing varicose veins.
    • Reflex-rheography proved to be an economical and user-friendly method for assessment.
    • The combination of muscular activity and elastocompression significantly altered venous return flow patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The "compression-mobilization" association is vital for effective venous therapeutic procedures.
    • Graduated compression therapy using elastic stockings is effective for venous insufficiency.
    • Reflex-rheography is a suitable method for evaluating the hemodynamic effects of compression and mobilization in venous disorders.
