Opisthenar microvessel area as a sensitive predictive index of arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients

Abstract We aimed to analyze whether opisthenar microvessel area (OMA, measured with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) angiography) was associated with blood pressure (BP), arterial stiffness and whether OMA can predict arterial stiffness in hypertensive (HTN) patients. Results from 90 participants...
