title: [The use of capillary videomicroscopy in the therapeutic assessment of acral vasospastic phenomena: microcirculatory effect of ketanserin and nifedipine].
abstract: In-vivo videomicroscopy is one of the few noninvasive and clinically useful direct methods for evaluating the effect of a drug on microcirculation of normal and ischemic areas. By using nailfold videomicroscopy in conjunction with local exposure to cold air, the hemodynamic effects of ketanserine and nifedipine are reviewed in patients with primary Raynaud's disease.
