Overview

Blood flow is the volumetric movement of blood through vessels per unit time, governed by perfusion pressure, vascular resistance, and the rheological properties of blood, and it determines the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and the clearance of metabolic products. Regional regulation, including cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling, matches flow to local metabolic demand, and disturbances in flow underlie stroke, ischemia, and vascular pathology. In vascular and neurovascular research, blood flow is studied through hemodynamics, cerebrovascular reactivity, microvascular behavior, and the modeling of flow within specific vascular geometries. The peer-reviewed work in this area reflects these themes, including modeling of low-density lipoprotein deposition within coronary artery geometry, brain hemodynamics and cerebrovascular reactivity in tension-type headache, neurovascular coupling agents regulating cerebral blood flow, leukocyte recruitment and migration in pulmonary injury, detection of brain regions involved in extreme breath-hold diving, and embolization techniques for arteriovenous fistulae. Studies of sickle cell disease and non-invasive measurement situate flow within clinical hematology and monitoring. Methods span computational and physiological modeling, neuroimaging and hemodynamic assessment, and clinical and interventional study. This body of research treats blood flow as a quantifiable, regulated determinant of tissue perfusion whose measurement and disturbance are central to vascular, cerebrovascular, and hematologic medicine.
