[State of peripheral and cerebral circulation in patients with chronic alcoholism according to rheovasographic and rheoencephalographic findings].

The paper is related to some vegeto-vascular dysfunctions which were detected in chronic alcoholic patients. These disorders were expressed in a decrease of the repletion intensity of the cerebral vessels and fingers of the hands; an increased tone of the small arteries and arterioles, a drop of the elasticity of the rascular wall and an increase of the peripheral resistance. It was also possible to mark disturbances of the venous outflow. The author is of the opinion that there is a regional hypertension in the small arteries and arterioles.
