Combined study of central hemodynamics and microcirculation in circulatory failure patients

: The status of the central hemodynamics and microcirculatory bed was studied in 50 patients (aged 25-60 years) with coronary heart disease complicated by circulatory failure. The local tissue blood flow was investigated by the H-clearance method with an automatized apparatus made in the USSR, the capillaroscopic picture was observed with a TM-1 telecapillaroscope. The paper presents a discussion of the fact that with an increase in circulatory failure the changes in the central hemodymamics are accompanied by functional and morphologic disturbances in the microcirculatory bed.
