The circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is essential for sustaining life. At the heart of this intricate system lies the arterial network, responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to vital organs and tissues. However, this system is not without its vulnerabilities. Arterial constrictions, whether due to atherosclerosis, plaque build-up, or other factors, can significantly impede blood flow, potentially leading to serious health complications. Understanding the intricate structure and function of arteries is fundamental to appreciating how constrictions within these vessels can significantly impact blood flow. This paper reviews the existing literature on about this interplay and emphasizes on the existing research gaps.
Atherosclerosis, arterial constriction, blood flow, arteries
The review enables us to investigate how variations in parameters affect the rheological properties of blood and, consequently, the flow patterns in stenosed tubes. Such investigations offer valuable insights into the factors governing blood behaviour in complex geometries. However, there are existing gaps in analysing the blood flow through constricted arteries and how the complexities in flow behaviour could impact the health at microstructure levels.
