Smoking and Female Sex: Independent Predictors of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Stiffening

AIMS: Recent evidence shows the rigidity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) contributes to vascular mechanics. Arterial rigidity is an independent cardiovascular risk factor whose associated modifications in VSMC viscoelasticity have never been investigated. This study’s objective was to evaluat...
