Simple Models of Complex Mechanics for Improved Hypertension Care: Learning to De-stiffen Arteries
Abstract Arteries can stiffen via different mechanisms due to the distending effects of blood pressure, the extracellular (ECM) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). This short review discusses how these simple models can be applied to the complex biomechanics of arteries to gain physiological in...
