Abstract: Local microstructural defects and insidious positive feedback lead to tortuous arteries that disrupt blood flow. Arterial tortuosity manifests in many conditions, including hypertension, genetic mutations predisposing to thoracic aortopathy, and vascular aging. Despite evidence that… read more here.
