Modulation of Arterial Intima Stiffness by Disturbed Blood Flow
2023-09-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The intima, comprising the endothelium and the subendothelial matrix, plays a crucial role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques, especially in bifurcations and curved segments of arteries. The mechanical stress arising from disturbed blood flow (d-flow) and the stiffening of the arterial wall contributes to endothelial dysfunction. However, the specific impacts of these physical force...
