[Volumetric blood flow in the carotid arteries in various forms of cerebrovascular pathology (based on data from two-dimensional Doppler ultrasonography)].

A total of 86 patients with a history of insult in the carotid system and 105 patients with the early clinical forms of cerebrovascular pathology (ECFCVP) were examined for the volumetric blood flow in the general carotid artery (GCA) using two-dimensional dopplerography. In the group of insult patients, the total volumetric blood flow in bot carotid arteries decreased by 13% on the average, in the group with ECFCVP by 8% as compared to the group of healthy persons. The decrease of the blood flow was recorded not only in the presence but also in the lack of the stenosing process in the carotid arteries.
