Summary
Patients with high blood pressure are at an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in western societies. It appears that increased pressure induces an inflammation response which leads to the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this project is to understand the vascular inflammatory mechanisms induced by high blood pressure with the view to prevent blood pressure-related complications such as atherosclerosis.
