[The peripheral hemodynamics of pregnant women with diabetes mellitus].

The state of the peripheral hemodynamics was studied rheovasographically in 26 pregnant patients suffering of diabetes mellitus and 30 healthy pregnant (pregnancy terms: 26, 27 and 34-40 weeks). Results of the study revealed changes of the peripheral hemodynamics in the pregnant diabetic patients as compared with pregnant women non-diabetics. These changes consisted in non-adequate response of the vascular bed to increased hemodynamic loads at the 27-33 pregnancy week as well as in more significant increase of the tone in the diabetic patients during the first half of pregnancy as compared with the healthy women. These changes may become supplementary criteria for revealing preclinical manifestations of diabetic angiopathies in pregnant diabetic women.
