Venous congestion may aid capillary visualization in hypertension microscopy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does venous congestion maximize the number of visible perfused skin capillaries compared to reactive hyperaemia or core heat load tests during intravital video-microscopy in essential hypertension?
Venous congestion at 60 mmHg for 2 minutes is the most effective method for maximizing the visualization of perfused skin capillaries during intravital video-microscopy.
