Differences in the mechanical properties of the rat carotid artery in vivo, in situ, and in vitro
The elastic properties of carotid arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive controls (Wistar-Kyoto rats [WKY]) were examined in vivo, in situ, and in vitro. The changes of internal diameter were measured with a high-resolution A-mo ...
1998Contributions of vascular tone and structure to elastic properties of a medium-sized artery
Isobaric compliance and distensibility of the radial artery were recently reported to be normal or slightly increased in untreated hypertensive patients. However, these findings provide no information on the intrinsic mechanical properties of the wall mate ...
1996Evaluation of methods for estimation of total arterial compliance
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jean-Jacques Meister, Nico Westerhof
Seven classic and recently proposed methods used for the estimation of total arterial compliance have been evaluated for their accuracy and applicability in different physiological conditions. The pressure and flow data are taken from a computer model that ...
American Physiological Society1995Simple and accurate way for estimating total and segmental arterial compliance: the pulse pressure method
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jean-Jacques Meister, Nico Westerhof
We derived and tested a new, simple, and accurate method to estimate the compliance of the entire arterial tree and parts thereof. The method requires the measurements of pressure and flow and is based on fitting the pulse pressure (systolic minus diastoli ...
1994Non-invasive determination of arterial diameter and distensibility by echo-tracking techniques in hypertension
METHODOLOGY: A new non-invasive ultrasonic device was developed to characterize the biomechanical properties of medium and large peripheral arteries. Simultaneous recordings of internal diameter and blood pressure over the whole cardiac cycle are used to e ...
1992Dynamic non-invasive measurements of arterial diameter and wall thickness
AIM: Non-invasive measurements of arterial diameter and wall thickness are critical in characterizing the onset and development of vascular disease. A precise dynamic method was proposed and tested for this purpose. DESIGN: A non-invasive method of measuri ...
1992Computer simulation of arterial flow with applications to arterial and aortic stenoses
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 nonlinearities arising from geometry and material properties. Fifty-five arterial ...
1992Non-invasive estimate of the mechanical properties of peripheral arteries from ultrasonic and photoplethysmographic measurements
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 ...
