Abstract
Skin capillary blood flow measured with laser Doppler in the legs of subjects with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is known to be different from normal subjects [1]. Many factors affect skin capillary blood flow including temperature, exercise, recent food or drug ingestion, as well as postural changes.
