Does not support practice change; leaves open causality and therapeutic relevance of digital hemodynamic changes.
Do peripheral hemodynamics (digital blood pressure, flow, and resistance) differ between patients with essential hypertension and normotensive subjects?
Essential hypertension is associated with altered peripheral hemodynamics, characterized by increased digital blood pressure and vascular resistance, and decreased blood flow, which are further exacerbated by target organ damage.
Kato et al. (1976) studied this question.
