Acute hypercalcemia induces equivalent limb vasoconstriction in normotensive and hypertensive men; leaves open differential vascular reactivity in essential hypertension.
Does intra-arterial calcium infusion cause different vasoconstrictor responses in normotensive versus essential hypertensive men?
Acute elevation of plasma calcium causes significant limb vasoconstriction, but this response is not exaggerated in men with essential hypertension.
