title: Strain gauge plethsymography in ischemic handsyndromes.
abstract: In sixteen patients with ischemic handsyndromes, strain gauge plethysmography was used as a noninvasive diagnostic test. Contrast-arteriography was available for comparison. These patients demonstrate the role for a noninvasive test in selecting patients with Raynaud's phenomenon or asphyxia for arteriography.
