Study of venous tone in varicose veins by duplex scanning
Varicose vein disease (VD) of the lower extremities is the most common pathology of the peripheral vessels: 26-38% of women and 10-20% of men of working age suffer from it. The annual increase of new cases of VD among the inhabitants of industrialized countries reaches 2.6% among women and 1.9% among men. Its course is accompanied by a number of complications and a high level of disability of patients, which, in turn, is associated with significant economic costs. These circumstances make the development of an effective system for diagnosing VD an important medical and social problem.
