The convenience of Doppler ultrasound and photoplethysmography has been evaluated in two groups of subjects with varicose veins. A cross insufficiency was found by Doppler sonographic investigation in 63.3% of cases from the group of patients with clinically significant varicose veins and pathological varicosity, whereas in the group with clinically nonsignificant varicose veins in 10% of cases. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the group of patients with clinically significant varicose veins and pathological varicosity, a pathological plethysmographic curve was observed in 27 (90%) out of a total of 30 subjects examined. At the same time, in the group of patients with clinically nonsignificant varicose veins, a shortening of plethysmographic curve was detected in 7, respectively, 23.3% of subjects. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The convenience of Doppler ultrasound and photoplethysmography in the diagnostic work-up of clinically significant varicose veins and pathological varicosity as compared with clinical examination is discussed.
在两组静脉曲张患者中评估了多普勒超声和光电容积描记法的便利性。通过多普勒超声检查发现，在具有临床显著性静脉曲张和病理性静脉曲张的患者组中，63.3%的病例存在交叉功能不全，而在临床无显著性静脉曲张的患者组中，这一比例为10%。差异具有统计学意义（P<0.01）。在具有临床显著性静脉曲张和病理性静脉曲张的患者组中，在总共30名接受检查的受试者中，有27名（90%）观察到病理性容积描记曲线。同时，在临床无显著性静脉曲张的患者组中，分别有7名受试者（23.3%）检测到容积描记曲线缩短。差异具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。讨论了与临床检查相比，多普勒超声和光电容积描记法在临床显著性静脉曲张和病理性静脉曲张诊断检查中的便利性。
