Wall artery viscoelastic properties (WAVP) are correlated with structural and functional state of the arterial system. An accurate estimation of these properties is achieved measuring wall instantaneous diameter and pressure signals. The aim of this work was to evaluate a new non invasive estimation method of the instantaneous arterial diameter (D), and consequently, WAVP. Ten common carotid arteries...
Clinical studies on lipid-lowering therapy have shown that changing the composition of lipid pools reduced significantly the risk of cardiac events associated with plaque rupture. It has been shown also that changing the composition of the lipid pool affects its mechanical properties. However, knowledge about the mechanical properties of human atherosclerotic lesions remains limited due to the difficulty...
