A member asked:
Can someone please distinguish the differences between a vascular response (to inflammation) and systemic reactions. wouldn't one lead to the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two different issues: Vascular inflammation typically refers to inflammation within the vessel wall or a plaque. Systemic inflammation is more diffuse. Granted one can lead to the other.
