Reheating time was determined simultaneously in 2 limbs in 147 persons, including 125 patients with various vessel diseases: thromboobliterating diseases, diabetic angiopathy, postthrombophlebitic syndrome, lymphedema and elephantiasis. This test makes it possible to obtain additional information on the status of capillary blood flow in the limbs and may be used during differential diagnosis, determination of the degree of compensation and prediction of the results of therapy. Use of this method makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of therapy. The test is simple enough to be used in any clinic.
