Impairment of skin blood flow during post-occlusive reactive hyperhemy assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry correlates with renal resistive index
We lack non-invasive tools for evaluating the coronary and renal microcirculations. Since cutaneous Doppler laser exploration has evidenced impaired cutaneous microvascular responses in coronary artery disease...

Prognostic significance of blood pressure measured on rising
Previous works using ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring demonstrated that independently of the mean level of BP, the variability in BP, or the day–night range, could have prognostic significance. We hav...

Echocardiographic definition of left ventricular hypertrophy in the hypertensive: which method of indexation of left ventricular mass?
Objectives: It has been suggested that hypertensives at high risk of cardiovascular complications can be identified on the basis of their left ventricular mass as determined echographically. However, there is as ...
