Vascular Remodeling

Question 1

Inward entropic

Answer 1

• small arteries and arterioles
• results from chronic BP increase
• increase thickness with no cross sectional change
• smaller ID

Question 2

Hypertrophic

Answer 2

• Large Vessels and do not control BP
• response to chronic increased BP
• increase thickness and cross sectional area
• same ID

Question 3

Outward

Answer 3

• Large Vessels
• resulting from chronic increase flow
• small thickness change but increase in cross sectional area
• Increase ID

Question 4

Outward hypertrophic

Answer 4

• large Vessels
• resulting from chronic pressure and flow increase
• increase thickness and cross sectional area
• increased ID
