title: [Comparison of the diagnostic contribution of rheography and ultrasound in diabetic macroangiopathy of the lower extremities].
abstract: In a group of 140 patients with diabetes mellitus ultrasonographic Doppler examination revealed a 30% incidence, rheographic examination a 34% incidence (p greater than 0.05) of macroangiopathies of the lower extremities. The asset of rheography was the ability to differentiate between pathological functional (21% incidence) and organic changes (13% incidence). The contribution of sonographic examination was the localization of the portion most severely affected by the macroangiopathy. The most frequent variant was general affection of the distal portion of extremities, followed by predominating affection of the posterior tibial artery and affection of the entire circulation of the lower extremity. In the authors' practice rheography is the basic examination. In the event of revealed pathological changes it is supplemented by sonographic Doppler examination.
