How do blood vessels dilate?
Are there any health conditions that can affect blood vessel dilation?
Yes, there are many health conditions that can affect blood vessel dilation, including hypertension, diabetes, and certain autoimmune diseases. These conditions can cause inflammation and damage to the blood vessel walls, making it more difficult for them to dilate properly in response to normal stimuli. Additionally, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to poor blood vessel function.
