Effect of Cold Pressor Test on the Internal Diameter of the Radial Artery

Effect of Cold Pressor Test on the Internal Diameter of the Radial Artery

The aim of this study was to investigate in normal subjects the effect of a cold pressor test on the caliber of the radial artery, a muscular artery of medium size. The internal diameter of this artery was measured continuously using a recently developed ultrasonic device. Immersion of one hand in i...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to investigate in normal subjects the effect of a cold pressor test on the caliber of the radial artery, a muscular artery of medium size. The internal diameter of this artery was measured continuously using a recently developed ultrasonic device. Immersion of one hand in ice water for two minutes increased blood pressure from 115/75 ± 3/2 (Mean±SEM) to 136/90 ± 6/2 mm Hg (P
