title: [The results of the drug therapy of the ischemic syndrome in arteriosclerosis obliterans].
abstract: A thorough investigation of 120 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower extremities, treated conservatively at a hospital and observed for 5 years have shown that such a treatment was most effective in patients with the initial stages of the disease. The mechanisms of positive effects is based on the dilatation of the peripheral arteries and the resulting decrease of the peripheral resistance of the vessels, improved cardiac activity, activation of microcirculation and tissue respiration. An important result of the treatment is an increased rate of the oxygen consumption by the tissues in the ischemic zone. It determines the pathogenetic direction of the therapy which leads to a delayed progress of the disease in 20% of the patients and improves the patient's state in 57% of cases.
