METHOD FOR RAPID ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF ARTERIAL BLOOD FLOW Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/02 A61B5/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: arm impedance variation is recorded in the hemodynamic load generated with a patient standing by raising arms upward, keeping arms in this position and returning to a normal position and lowering along the body. A period of time of the vertical standing with the arms raised upwards makes 30 seconds. After the arms are returned to the normal position, electrical impedances are recorded 10 seconds later, and a recovery index (RI) is determined by the original formula. If RI≤1, a norm is stated, while RI>1 enables stating the presence of atherosclerotic changes, a manifestation of which is stated by an excess.

EFFECT: method enables norming the time parameters of hemodynamic load and obtaining the qualitative assessment of the functional status of the arterial blood flow to enable the early instant diagnosis of developing atherosclerosis.
