Vascular physiology: A bridge between health and disease

Abstract

A functional aspect of the vascular system is defined as vascular physiology, which covers mostly cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, renovascular and pulmonary vascular systems. Most of the system functions with perfect homeostasis under the coverage of haemodynamics. This haemodynamics maintains a steady relationship between intravascular pressure (P), overall vascular resistance (R) and circulatory flow (F). To explore more unknown facts of vascular physiology further research in experimental physiology with small animals by in vivo, vascular cell line research by in vitro, applications of bioinformatics tools by in silico and clinical studies are needed.
