Disturbed vasomotion in chronic venous insufficiency [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2003
Vasomotion is the slow rhythmic contraction of the smooth muscles of arterioles, metarterioles, and precapillary sphincters. It improves rheologic function of capillary blood flow and guarantees cellular nutrition and oxygen supply. Oxygen supply to the skin by blood can be quantified by measuring oxyhemoglobin concentration and hemoglobin oxygen ...
