Mechanical pressure unloading therapy reverses thoracic aortic structural and functional changes in a hypertensive rat model

Hypertension can impair structure and function of blood vessels. Experimental data describing the reverse remodeling process after a mechanical pressure unloading therapy in the vasculature is limited. We studied the influence of pressure unloading on both the structural and functional alterations o...

Description
Summary:Hypertension can impair structure and function of blood vessels. Experimental data describing the reverse remodeling process after a mechanical pressure unloading therapy in the vasculature is limited. We studied the influence of pressure unloading on both the structural and functional alterations of the aorta in a hypertensive rat model.
