1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess endothelial function at the level of skin microvasculature, using iontophoretic administration of acetylcholine (endothelium-dependent vasodilator) and sodium nitroprusside (endothelium-independent vasodilator), in women who recently had a preeclamptic pregnancy. METHODS: Microvascular skin reactivity was assessed by laser Doppler perfusion monitoring and iontophoresis of acetylcholine (ACh)...
