Mechanochemiemission and atherogenesis.
Haemodynamic factors activate mechanochemiemission between the surfaces of vessels and blood cells, i.e. optical, acoustic, heat and radioemissions which initiate formation of lipid peroxide radicals causing vascular wall damage. Subsequent development of mechanochemiemission reactions in lipids results in formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arterial intima.
