METHOD OF EARLY DIAGNOSTICS OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS, COMBINED WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: ultrasonic examination of brachial artery is realised. During ultrasound examination lumen of brachial artery in systole and diastole is determined, reactive hyperaemia test and test with nitroglycerinum intake are performed. After that, values of lumen, obtained before performing test and after them, are compared. Presence of endothelial dysfunction is identified on the basis of degree of obtained data change. If value of brachial artery diameter after reactive hyperaemia test is less than 12% in systole and less than 13% in diastole, as well as after intake of nitroglycerinum, if value of brachial artery diameter in systole is less than 20% and less than 21% in diastole, endothelium dysfunction is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method provides detection of affection of vessel wall in said category of patients at the earliest stages.
