Abstract
Arterial physiopathological behavior involves multiphysics mechanisms, as the result of the complex interplay between microscale transport phenomena and mechanical equilibrium. This chapter draws a modeling strategy for coupling macroscopic mechanics and molecular diffusive/reactive mechanisms via biochemically-motivated tissue remodeling laws.Results have been obtained by addressing the effects of extracellular matrix remodeling driven by matrix metalloproteinases, transforming growth factor-beta and interleukines on the compliance of an axisymmetric arterial segment. Remarkably, obtained results show that the present approach is able to capture arterial dilation as a consequence of alterations in the cellular activity, as well as to incorporate the protective role of pharmacological treatments.
