Abstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disorder of the aorta that can cause patients died because of bleeding. Bleeding occurs due to rupture of an abdominal aortic wall with aneurysms.

Introduction: Blood flow produces fluid shear stress (SS), a frictional force parallel to the blood flow, on the endothelial cell (EC) layer of the lumen of the vessels. ECs themselves are sensitive ...

Background and Purpose— Systemic and local coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors participate in atherogenesis. The role of wall shear stress, a major local risk factor, remains to be elucidated.

Abstract We examined whether shear stress can inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in vitro directly. Human VSMCs were exposed to fluid flow for 24 hours using a cone-plate ...

An important compensatory response to atherosclerosis is vascular remodeling, with maintenance of vessel lumen diameter and shear stress. Both hemodynamic and environmental factors contribute to ...
