[The study of arteriogenic erectile impotence by noninvasive methods].

With the development of noninvasive haemodynamic methods, recognition of arterial insufficiency signs is possible also in cases in which, in old times, we just could suspect a psychogenic cause. Although this advance, discrimination permitted by this method can be improved. Eighty-eight supposed healty patients and eighty-four patients with arteriogenic erectile impotency (tested by arteriography) were included into an study, which results are presented in here. Analysis made, avoided the effect of envelleiment on haemodynamic parameters interpretation. For identification of patients which obstructive arterial defect can be cause of sexual disfunction, combination of systolic pressure determination and arterial flow velocity curves (by Doppler ultrasonography) is proposed. We recommend this method as a part of the multifactorial examen required by such type of patients.
