Significance of Vasorelaxation
Vasorelaxation is the process where blood vessels relax and widen, leading to a reduction in blood pressure. This physiological effect is often associated with increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which can be influenced by treatments such as Vericiguat. Understanding vasorelaxation is crucial for developing therapies aimed at managing blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health.
