Highlights potential vasomotion targets for research; leaves open clinical translation to vascular tone disorders.
This review highlights that arterial vasomotion is driven by synchronized intracellular calcium release via gap junctions, distinguishing it from pacemaker-driven non-vascular smooth muscle.
Haddock et al. (2005) conducted a review in Vascular rhythmicity (vasomotion). Vascular rhythmicity depends critically on calcium released from intracellular stores within smooth muscle cells and on cell coupling via gap junctions.
