Differential Progressive Remodeling of Coronary and Cerebral Arteries and Arterioles in an Aortic Coarctation Model of Hypertension

OBJECTIVES: Effects of hypertension on arteries and arterioles often manifest first as a thickened wall, with associated changes in passive material properties (e.g., stiffness) or function (e.g., cellular phenotype, synthesis and removal rates, and vasomotor responsiveness). Less is known, however,...
