Does arteriolar remodeling following ischemic injury extend from capillary to large arteriole in the microcirculation?
Ischemic injury induces arteriogenesis in skeletal muscle microcirculation. Furthermore, this surgical model enables en face analysis of microcirculatory adaptations with single-cell resolution and can provide investigators with morphometric data on a microscale that is difficult to achieve using other models.
Based on very different models, parameters from reservoir theory and wave separation analysis are closely related and can predict cardiovascular events to a similar extent. Although Windkessel models cannot describe all of the physiological properties of the arterial system, they can be useful to analyze its behavior and to predict cardiovascular events.
