Abstract

The mechanisms and definitive predictive components involved within the clinical initiation and formation of atherosclerosis remain elusive as of yet. Over the years, established fluid and mass transport theories and experimentally agreed upon vasoactive agents have contributed towards a boom of predictive mathematical models concerning atherogenesis. This paper aims to elucidate currently utilized theories available regarding initiation of atherosclerotic proliferation and provide a brief review of available mathematical transport phenomenon models which utilize these theories.
