Physical Factors in the Pathogenesis of Atheroma Formation

摘要: This book is devoted to a review of interdisciplinary reinterpretations scientific concepts explaining current understanding the causes and consequences atheroma formation. A chapter on physical factors must be more than just an addendum assembly expert knowledge various distinct details complex process. Hemorheologists, in crossing boundaries established mathematical, biophysical, biochemical, cytological hemodynamic disciplines, are forced embrace intricate vascular morphology, effects aging overt disease processes and, last but not least, highly variable alterations properties blood its components. All these can put into common perspective order comprehend physics that determines natural history atheromatosis, pivotal pathogenetic process fluid-dynamic early 20th century by Aschoff (1912) who cooperated with Rehbock, fluid dynamicist.
