METHOD OF ASSESSMENT OF ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT VASODILATATION IN PATIENTS WITH DISPLASIA OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to medicine, in particular, to therapy and may be used for assessment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in patients with displasia of connective tissue. After ultrasonic measurement of the diametre of the brachial artery before, during and after the period of its ischemia, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is calculated as the difference between the maximal internal diametre of the artery within the period of reactive hyperemia and minimal diametre within the ischemia period in percent ratio to the diametre of pre-release. With the ischemic diametre value bigger than initial one and postocclusive diametre equal to the initial one, EDVD is derived as the difference between the maximal internal diametre of the ischemic period and the initial one in percent ratio against the initial diametre.

EFFECT: method allows calculation of initial stages of endothelium dysfunctions in patients with displasia of the connective tissue.
