The microcirculation in atherogenesis

The microcirculation in atherogenesis.

The term ‘atherosclerosis’ is generally employed for a disease process characterized by the formation of atheromas (fibrofatty intimal plaques) resulting in progressive hardening of the arterial wall, loss of vascular elasticity, and luminal compromise. Different segments of the vascular tree vary in their susceptibility to develop atherosclerotic lesions: atheromas have been described characte...

The microcirculation in shock.

It is right that attention should be directed early in this symposium to the microcirculation in shock for it is at this level of the circulation that we must look for an explanation of this complex and sometimes irreversible clinical condition.

Oxygen gradients in the microcirculation.

As arterialized blood transits from the central circulation to the periphery, oxygen exits through the vessel walls driven by radial oxygen gradients that extend from the red blood cell column, through the plasma, the vessel wall, and the parenchymal tissue. This exit determines a longitudinal gradient of blood oxygen saturation whose extent is inversely related to the level of metabolic activi...
