Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Presentation / Conference
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., McCollum, P., & Chetter, I. Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Paper presented at Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) Annual Meeting
