I became aware of the endothelium while researching the covid issue and countermeasures. The worldwide clinical trial continues. I doubt we will ever know the results and mechanisms.
The vessels surface is damaged and clots form and the surface is repaired and grows over but I didnt understand what causes the damage that causes clots to form.
.
The following info is in the article: 'The pattern is a map of mechanical stress. Branch points are where flow becomes turbulent. Bends are where shear forces concentrate. The locations where plaque forms are the locations where the arterial lining takes the hardest hit.'
.
So somehow the flow is disturbed but I have no clear picture of why there is damage
Again Unbekoming, thank you for sharing your knowledge
