VASCULARREMODELING • Active process of structural alteration that involves • cell growth • cell death • cell migration • production and degradation of EM
VASCULARREMODELING • Dynamic interaction between locally generated • growth factors • vasoactive substances • hemodynamic stimuli
VASCULARREMODELING Is usually an adaptive process that occurs in response to long-term changes in hemodynamic conditions, but it may subsequently contribute to the pathophysiology of vascular diseases and circulatory disorders
