Key result
Disturbed blood flow acts as a significant local risk factor for atherosclerosis by inducing a chronic low-level inflammatory state and adaptive response in the endothelium.

Supports hemodynamic risk assessment in atherosclerosis; hypothesis-generating for targeted endothelial interventions.
Davies et al. (2013) conducted a review in Atherosclerosis. Disturbed blood flow was evaluated. Disturbed blood flow acts as a significant local risk factor for atherosclerosis by inducing a chronic low-level inflammatory state and adaptive response in the endothelium.
