RAPID refill time is 1 second which is considered abnormal because it could be an indication of high blood pressure
Just playing devil's advocate here…according to whom? Why not just take their BP and find out? A BP measurement (if done correctly ) is going to be a more accurate indication of BP that cap refill time.
