Outcomes | Besides the usual biochemical and immunological investigations, special tests including skin temperature, recovery time after a cold stress test, measurement of digital blood flow by strain‐gauge digital plethysmography, and radioisotopically determined glomerular filtration rate. Digital blood flow and skin temperature recovery times studied after 45 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours of intra‐arterial reserpine injection or sublingually administered nifedipine, orally administered trifluoperazine or dipyridamole; and weekly on a long‐term basis Raynaud's frequency, severity, and duration of attacks |
