A total of 66 patients were investigated with IR imager and television capillaroscopy for the blood circulation in the vessels of low extremities as well as for the values of lipid metabolism and the system of lipid peroxidation. According to the status of the vascular system in the low extremities the examinees were divided into the groups with the normal status of the vascular system, the groups with the signs of venous insufficiency, microcirculatory disorders and atherosclerosis of major vessels. With the disorders of microcirculation in low extremities staged increments in the atherogenic shifts in the exchange were demonstrated. It was suggested that atherosclerotic changes in the arteries could be preceded with the hemodynamic changes in the venous and capillary systems due to rheological disorders due to the development of hypercoagulation which accompanied dyslipoproteinemias and other atherogenic shifts in the metabolism.
