Description
Hemodynamic forces are very important determinants of the structure and function of the vascular system, during growth and development, as well as during adult life. Blood flow factors also play an important role in the localization of the atherosclerotic plaques, which can obstruct the lumen and prevent blood flow, and generates in artery wall the plaque degenerative processes. Understanding the nature and the interaction of the forces on the artery wall could make a significant contribution to prevent and to diagnostic a vascular disease. The human vascular system is composed by the heart and blood vessels, and functions in such a way as to supply each organ demands.
