[Occlusion rheoplethysmography]

The investigation of the peripheral circulation by using the all-purpose occlusion rheoplethysmography enables the reaction of rising the venous tone in response to the action exerted by the tissue ischemia products to be quantitatively estimated along with a one-time determination of the arterial and venous hemodynamics of the crus at rest and in reactive hyperemia. The blood flow volume-velocity rates determined by means of the proposed method are of a considerable diagnostic value for characterization of the peripheral hemodynamics in patients with cardio-vascular pathology, in performing pharmacological tests and in medication with drugs displaying vasoactive properties.
