18. Stiffness and aneurysm of the aorta. Relations to vascular aging, hyperglycemia, and inflammation
Sammanfattning : A well-functioning arterial system for the transport of oxygen to the cells is essential for human health. The aorta has a key role for the provision of this physiological effect. Disturbances to aortic function can lead to majorsymptoms and even death due to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). LÄS MER
