Abstract
Objective – to establish the connection of the vascular tonus in veins of the lower extremities with arterial hypertension (AH). Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of the total femoral vein tone was performed in 60 men with hypertension and in 27 men with normal blood pressure. The tone was assessed by the orthostatic dynamics index in the prone and vertical positions, calculated on the results of the ultrasonic examination of the vein. Results. Under orthostasis in both groups an increase in the cross-sectional area of the vein by 2.8 times was recorded, compared with the baseline, but the differences in the orthostatic dilatation index between the groups were not detected. Results. There was no difference in vein tone between men with hypertension and with normal arterial pressure, probably due to the gender characteristics of patients, insufficient informative value of the method for determining tonus basing on the common femoral vein.
Key words
arterial hypertension, venous tone of the lower extremities, men
