  • Title: Sphygmographic assessment of arterial distensibility in patients at risk of degenerative arterial disease.
    Author: Chlebus H, Waclawek J, Ciświcka-Sznajderman M.
    Journal: Bibl Cardiol; 1979; (37):154-8. PubMed ID: 508252.
    Abstract:
    The paper deals with the application of carotid resonance electrosphygmography (CRESG) to primary arterial hypertension (PAH) and primary hyperlipoproteinaemia (PHLP). On a group of 145 patients with PAH (and a control group of 63 healthy persons) aged 20--50 years and on a group of 30 patients with PHLP (plus a control group of 43 healthy persons) aged 30--60 years, the records were taken bilaterally. In both groups significant quantitative differences in the sphygmograms were found which are indicative for reduced distensibility and indirectly for the degeneration of the arterial wall. It is concluded that an effective follow-up of the progress of degenerative changes can be made by CRESG.
