In Patients With Hypertension, the Cortical Perfusion Index Measured by Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Reveals a Sexual Dimorphism
Women with arterial hypertension have a higher cortical microperfusion than men, while their microvascular reactivity to a CPT appears to be similar. This sexual dimorphism may have an impact on renal function decline, which needs further investigation.
