[Photosphygmography in obliterative arterial diseases of the lower extremities]

Photosphygmography with the use of phototransistor sensors and optical calibration of signals is an effective method for the investigation of the impulse arterial blood flow in different vessels of lower extremities. In obliterating diseases of arteries the impulse blood flow coefficients were reduced, the arterial blood flow being sometimes transformed into the uninterrupted flow. This method is recommended by the authors for diagnosis of vascular disorders and control of curative measures.
