The authors discuss the relationship of serum concentrations of endothelin in patients with vascular disease due to vibration and the severity of the disease; the highest concentrations were found in the most advanced forms of disease. Combination of the vascular disease due to vibration with complicating cardiovascular diseases is also discussed. The authors prepared methodical norms for the elaboration and evaluation of the results of serum concentrations of endothelin. These norms are useful for comparing studies in various regions and for international cooperation. The paper presents preliminary results so far of small group of patients. The examination could be a useful additional method for the classification and assessment of severity and prognosis of the disease.
作者探讨了振动所致血管疾病患者血清内皮素浓度与疾病严重程度之间的关系；在疾病最严重的形式中发现了最高浓度。文中还讨论了振动所致血管疾病与并发心血管疾病的合并情况。作者制定了用于阐述和评估血清内皮素浓度结果的方法规范。这些规范有助于比较不同地区的研究以及开展国际合作。本文展示了一小群患者目前的初步结果。该检查可能是用于疾病分类、严重程度评估及预后判断的一种有用的辅助方法。
