Skin Capillary Density in Infants Born to Normotensive Mothers: A Comparison Between Singleton and Twin Infants
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Twin infants tend to have LBW and microvascular alterations but do not appear to have an increase in cardiovascular mortality later in life as singleton infants. We hypothesized that twin infants born to normotensive mothers would not have capillary rarefaction at birth.
METHODS: We studied 26 dizygotic twin infants and compared them with 115 consecutive singleton infants to normotensive mothers. We used orthogonal polarized …
