[Dynamics of the blood flow in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis--clinico-instrumental comparisons].

A certain stage-by-stage change in the regional blood flow was revealed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis depending on the degree of synovitis markedness. Having taken the volumetric blood flow and its intensity as the main criterion for the adequacy of regional hemodynamics, the authors propose to distinguish phases of compensation, subcompensation, and decompensation in the regional blood flow.
