ABSTRACT
It has been shown that chronic illnesses such as systemic sclerosis and diabetes mellitus are related to some disorders at the capillary level, such as increased vessel permeability, the presence of avascular areas, enlarged loops, poor circulation, and increased tortuosity (Daly and Leahy 2013). There has been an increasing interest in using microcirculation as a marker for cardiovascular health and metabolic functions, as it may be related to the development of instruments for detecting a variety of pathological processes in the circulatory system.
