Summary

This study looked at tiny blood vessels in the skin of people with resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn't respond to multiple drugs). Researchers compared 111 participants to see if changes in these vessels could help predict heart risks. The goal was to find a simple, non-invasive way to better assess cardiovascular danger in these patients.
