Abstract: The venoarteriolar reflex is a local mechanism that induces vasoconstriction during venous congestion in various tissues, including skin. This response is thought to play a critical role in minimizing capillary damage or edema resulting from… read more here.

Abstract: The venoarteriolar reflex (VAR) is a local mechanism by which vasoconstriction is mediated in response to venous congestion. This response may minimize tissue overperfusion, preventing capillary damage and edema. Post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) is used… read more here.
