What is Primary and Secondary Microcirculatory Disorders in Essential Hypertension about?

In this prospective cross-sectional study blood fluidity and peripheral microcirculation were measured in patients suffering from essential hypertension with and without macroangiopathy. The cutaneous microcirculation was evaluated by intravital microscopy and the intramuscular by pO2 needle electrode. Disorders in the microcirculation without macroangiopathy in the system of the feeding arteries are defined as primary microangiopathy. Disturbed microcirculation with macroangiopathy in the feeding arteries in one area but no detectable microcirculatory disorder in another region is defined as a secondary microcirculatory disorder. Of the 57 patients in this study 27 had a primary microcirculatory disorder. It was remarkable that all 27 hypertension patients had a microcirculatory disorder in the area of the skin. Intramuscular microcirculatory disorder on its own without affection of the skin was not detected in any case. An exclusively secondary microcirculatory disorder occurred in 16 patients. This study shows that 93% of the patients with long-term essential arterial hypertension have microcirculatory disorders. It is most interesting that about one-half of these hypertension p
