METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE SENSITIVITY OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL PERIPHERAL ARTERIES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine, diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: one should carry out ultrasound evaluation of the diameter of brachial artery, the rate of circulation, and, also, a peak systolic rate of circulation along it both before and after carrying out samplings with hyperemia and hyperventilation (SHV). Then one should calculate coefficients of endothelial sensitivity on the 5^th min to calculate the index of endothelial sensitivity by the following formula: IES, conditional units = C (SHV)/C (SRH), where C (SHV) - coefficient of endothelial sensitivity to shift's tension by taking into account shift tension and alteration of brachial artery diameter obtained on the 5^th min at sampling with hyperventilation. C (SRH) - coefficient of endothelial sensitivity to shift tension at taking into account shift tension during the first seconds and alteration of brachial artery diameter obtained on the 75^th sec of reactive hyperemia at IES < - 1.89 one should detect low endothelial sensitivity. The innovation enables to increase information value and widen field of application.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of diagnostics.
