Abstract excerpt
Decreased aortic compliance is associated with ageing and vascular disease, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. Ultimately, changes in aortic compliance are driven by altered ECM composition however, recent findings have identified a cellular component to decreased aortic compliance observed in ageing and hypertension. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) line the blood vessel wall and VSMC contraction reg...
