Why the study?
How do physiological changes and hypertension affect the critical closing pressure of nailfold capillary vessels?
How do physiological changes and hypertension affect the critical closing pressure of nailfold capillary vessels?
The study demonstrates a valid method for estimating critical closing pressure in nailfold capillaries and shows it is elevated in hypertension and modulated by temperature and nerve activity.
