New electrocoagulogram characteristics are suggested. Mathematical analysis has revealed a correlation between some acknowledged electrocoagulogram characteristics and the suggested tests, on the one hand, and plasma heparin tolerance, plasma recalcification time, prothrombin time, fibrinogen content, fibrinolytic activity, and fibrinase activity, on the other. The results of examinations of 76 patients with acute esophagogastroduodenal hemorrhages have confirmed a high informative value of the new characteristics and a possibility of determining the traditional coagulogram values from electrocoagulogram data. This recommends electrocoagulography as a rapid method for the diagnosis of blood coagulation disorders.
