Remodeling of conduit arteries in hypertension and flow-overload obeys a minimum energy principle

Arterial remodeling is an important process in physiology and pathophysiology. Based on an energy minimization method, Murray’s law predicts the optimal inner radius. Application of Darcy’s law in the wall results in an optimal outer radius. The average wall stress is computed by the Laplace’s law....
