Reproducible maximal forearm blood flow supports its use for scaling vascular responses in research; leaves open clinical adoption without prospective validation.
Is the maximal forearm blood flow response to local heating a reproducible characteristic of the cutaneous vasculature?
The maximal forearm blood flow response to local heating is highly reproducible within individuals, suggesting its potential utility in scaling vascular responses.
Savage et al. (1994) studied this question.
