Effects of Disturbed Flow on Vascular Endothelium: Pathophysiological Basis and Clinical Perspectives

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are exposed to hemodynamic forces, which modulate EC functions and vascular biology/pathobiology in health and disease. The flow patterns and hemodynamic forces are not uniform in the vascular system. In straight parts of the arterial tree, blood flow is generally la... View More
