Anisoangiotonia

Anisoangiotonia is a pathological condition characterized by uneven vascular tone.

The term comes from the Greek words "aniso" - unequal, "angeion" - vessel and "tonos" - tension.

With anisoangiotonia, there is a violation of the regulation of the tone of the vascular wall, as a result of which the tone of different vessels or different parts of the same vessel is significantly different.

This leads to changes in blood flow and disruption of the blood supply to organs and tissues. Clinically, anisoangiotonia can manifest itself as headache, dizziness, visual disturbances and other symptoms.

The causes of anisoangiotonia can be damage to the central nervous system, endocrine diseases, and intoxication. Diagnosis is based on measuring blood pressure and studying blood flow. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the cause and restoring normal vascular tone.



Anisoangiotonia is a pathological condition characterized by uneven tone of blood vessels.

The term "anisoangiotonia" consists of the following parts:

  1. "Aniso-" is a prefix meaning unevenness, asymmetry.

  2. "Angeion" - from the Greek "angeion", meaning "vessel".

  3. "Tonia" - from the Greek "tonos", meaning "tension, tone."

Thus, anisoangiotonia literally means "uneven tension of the blood vessels."

In this condition, there is increased vascular tone in some organs or parts of the body and decreased vascular tone in other organs/parts. This impairs the blood supply and can cause a variety of symptoms.

Anisoangiotonia can be either congenital or acquired. Factors contributing to its development include stress, physical inactivity, smoking, and endocrine disorders. For diagnosis, various methods of visualizing blood vessels and measuring blood pressure are used. Treatment is aimed at normalizing vascular tone through drug therapy, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes.
