A member asked:
How can a drug like midodrine that constricts some vessels and not all of them, can cause higher pressure on all vessels walls ??

Midodrine: Midodrine raises blood pressure through the arterial tree. Thus all blood vessel walls will experience higher pressure of this general elevation of BP.
