The cold pressor test is a test measuring the tendency to develop essential hypertension. One hand is placed in ice water. An excessive rise in the blood pressure or an unusual delay in the return of normal blood pressure when the hand is removed from the water is believed to indicate that the individual is at risk for hypertension. 3, record 2, English, - cold%20pressor%20test
