The syndromes are numerous and confusing, but amongthem a few are sufficiently distinct or constant to be given diagnostictitles such as Raynauds disease, intermittent claudication, migraine,pseudosclerosis, asphygmia alternans, etc. Only the chief types canbe taken up; the purely tentative nature of the classification must beemphasized.
