Central and regional hemodynamic patterns were assessed by combined rheography, including integral rheography, rheopulmonography and longitudinal rheovasography of the shin and the big toe in 86 pregnant patients with combined gestosis in the presence of essential hypertension and neurocirculatory dystonia (CG + EH), 112 patients with pure gestosis (PG) and 100 normal pregnant patients. Central and regional hemodynamic patterns were shown to be dependent on the severity of gestosis, stage of essential hypertension and hemodynamic type in CG + EH patients. The hyperkinetic type was more commonly seen in CG + EH, as compared to PG cases. This type of circulation was associated with high regional rheographic values in the lung, toe and shin, an evidence of a stable systemic and pulmonary vascular perfusion level, maintained in this condition.
