[Blood flow measurement in palmar arterial arch of hand and digital arteries].

As a result of examination of 20 healthy people by the method of ultrasound dopplerography normal values of blood flow in palmar arterial arch of the hand and digital arteries were established. In the course of examination by this method of 50 patients with various diseases of arteries of upper extremities hemodynamically responsible areas for lowering of blood flow were revealed. These were axileary artery, bifurcation of the brachial artery, both arteries of the forearm and arterial arch of the hand. Blood flow intensity in the arteries of the hand and fingers refleds the condition of collateral blood flow in the upper extremity.
