Commentary Vascular Endothelium, Hemodynamic Forces, and Atherogenesis
Intimal lipid accumulation, hyperplasia, and scarring are stigmata of atherosclerotic vascular disease, whose major complications—myocardial and cerebral ischemia and infarction—continue to be major health problems in developed nations. This insidiously progressive disease typically spans decades, but can reach a clinical horizon in a matter of minutes due to critical changes in a given atheros...
متن کاملHemodynamic forces in endothelial dysfunction and vascular aging.
Aging is a key risk factor associated with the onset of cardiovascular disease. Notably, vascular aging and cardiovascular disease are both associated with endothelial dysfunction, or a marked decrease in production and bioavailability the vasodilator of nitric oxide (NO). As a result of decreased nitric oxide availability, aging vessels often exhibit endothelial cell senescence and increased o...
متن کاملHemodynamic Forces Regulate Embryonic Stem Cell Commitment to Vascular Progenitors
Pluripotent embryonic stem can (ES) cells can differentiate into all cell lineages. During the process of embryonic development, ES cells are exposed to fluid flow or blood flow generated by the contracting heart. Absence of fluid flow results in the formation of abnormal cardiac chambers and valve formation. Thus, hemodynamic forces and ES cell differentiation to vascular progenitor cells (VPC...
متن کاملLocal Hemodynamic Forces After Stenting
Advances in stent technology, drug polymer biocompatibility, and design have improved the safety and efficacy of coronary stent devices. Despite these advances, restenosis and device thrombosis remain a major concern and are still affecting long-term clinical outcomes. Randomized trials and clinical registries show that the rate of stent thrombosis is <1% after 1 year, and the restenosis rates ...
متن کاملKlf2 is an essential regulator of vascular hemodynamic forces in vivo.
Hemodynamic responses that control blood pressure and the distribution of blood flow to different organs are essential for survival. Shear forces generated by blood flow regulate hemodynamic responses, but the molecular and genetic basis for such regulation is not known. The transcription factor KLF2 is activated by fluid shear stress in cultured endothelial cells, where it regulates a large nu...
