Often, therapy has been less than satisfactory because we lack a comprehensive understanding structural changes develop why they abnormal hemodynamic behavior circulation. Current research therefore being directed toward identifying specific alterations cell biology vessel wall assessing their functional significance. The ultimate goal elucidate important underlying molecular genetic control mechanisms manipulate them advantage.
