The biomechanical adaptation of the arterial wall to hypertension has been studied extensively in recent years; however, the exact biomechanical contribution of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) during the adaptation process in conduit vessels is not kn ...
Recent experimental studies have shown significant alterations of the vascular smooth muscle (VSM) tone when an artery is subjected to an elevation in pressure. Therefore, the VSM participates in the adaptation process not only by means of its synthetic ac ...
Spontaneous low frequency diameter oscillations have been observed in vivo in some muscular arteries. The aim of this paper is to propose a possible mechanism for their appearance. A lumped parameter mathematical model for the mechanical response of an art ...
In this paper an innovative micromachined passive flow regulator for implantable drug delivery systems is presented. The aim is to passively achieve a constant flow rate over a certain pressure range through linear variation of a flow resistance. This flow ...
The non-linear elastic response of arteries implies that their mechanical properties depend strongly on blood pressure. Thus, dynamic measurements of both the diameter and pressure curves over the whole cardiac cycle are necessary to characterise properly ...
We have searched to define the major arterial parameters that determine aortic systolic (Ps) and diastolic (Pd) pressure in the dog. Measured aortic flows were used as input to the 2-element windkessel model of the arterial system, with peripheral resistan ...
A computer model for simulating pressure and flow propagation in the human arterial system is developed. The model is based on the one-dimensional flow equations and includes non-linearities arising from geometry and material properties. Fifty five arteria ...
