METHOD OF DIAGNOSING THE STATE OF THE ENDOTHELIAL RELAXATION MECHANISM IN THE MICROCIRCULATION SYSTEM OF THE TEMPORAL ARTERY Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B5/02 A61B5/01 

FIELD: medicine; cardiology; neurology; functional diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to diagnose the state of the endothelial relaxation mechanism in the temporal artery microcirculation system. The patient is subjected to a two-minute occlusion of the vessels of the microvasculature of the temporal artery, followed by discrete recording of the temperature of the skin of the temple at the same point in the zone of the temporal artery before removing the occlusion, after it for 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds. Temperature increase by 0.2–0.6°С at a duration of 60 seconds or more during the 120-second post-occlusion period indicates the normal activity of the endothelial relaxation mechanism in the microcirculation system of the temporal artery.

EFFECT: method improves accuracy, simplifies and reduces the time of diagnosing the state of the endothelial relaxation mechanism in the temporal artery microcirculation system due to the use of research methods that are easy to conduct and interpret — thermometry and a two-minute occlusion test.
