  • Abstract
    Arterial and venous properties of the upper arm vascular bed were noninvasively investigated in hypertensive patients and normotensive controls, using a single method. In patients with essential hypertension the venous and arterial function were both modified. Compared to normotensives, hypertensives showed a decrease of the compliance of the greater arteries and an increase of the compliance of the arterioles.
