QUANTITATIVE-EVALUATION OF HEAD BLOOD-CIR CULATION USING INDIRECT RHEOGRAPHY

Clinical-experimental basis of the possibility of application of the m ethod of Indirect rheography of head (IRH) in wide clinical practice w as presented. Estimation of the results reproduction and accuracy of t he method was performed too. 40 healthy individuals of both sexes at t he age of 18-50 and 102 patients with spinal osteochondrosis, arterial hypertension and neurocirculatory dystonia were examined. It was dete rmined that IRH provided 93% of results reproduction and its precision was 90% and higher in comparison with ultrasound method. It was estab lished that head circulation was 750-1200 ml/min or 12-24% of cardiac output in healthy individuals. The results of the study of head blood circulation in some groups of patients were also discussed.
