Forearm blood flow (FBF) measured during reactive hyperemia by venous-occlusion plethysmography assesses resistance-vessel dilatation function but has never been investigated in resistant hypertension. The aim was to evaluate the independent correlates of forearm resistance-vessel function parameters in resistant hypertensives.
