Arterias coronarias, síndrome de Takotsubo
Hola colegas. No encuentro la palabra en inglés para "flexuosas". Se refiere a que las arterias tienen más ondas o vueltas, pero no sé como decirlo en inglés:
Las coronarias pronunciadamente **flexuosas** también son habituales en mujeres posmenopáusicas y las arterias con estas características al acodarse en forma extrema pueden generar kinkings.
¡Muchas gracias!

Note from asker:
| Your answer was most helpful and doing some research I came across "tortous coronary arteries" which seems to fit in this context. |
| I mean "tortuous". |
