Coronary atherosclerosis is the major cause of mortality and disability in developed nations.
A deeper understanding of mechanical properties of coronary arteries and hence their …

The microstructure of arteries, consisting, in particular, of collagen, elastin, and vascular
smooth muscle cells, plays a very significant role in their biomechanical response during a …

Abstract Background and Objective In this paper we investigate twelve multi-
directional/topological wall shear stress (WSS) derived metrics and their relationships with …

Personalized Computational Hemodynamics: Models, Methods, and Applications for
Vascular Surgery and Antitumor Therapy offers practices and advances surrounding the …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the western world. With
the current development of clinical diagnostics to more accurately measure the extent and …

The microstructural deformation-mechanical loading relation of the blood vessel wall is
essential for understanding the overall mechanical behavior of vascular tissue in health and …

One-dimensional models of hemodynamics proved to be effective in the analysis of blood
flow in humans in the normal and pathological states. A key factor contributing to the …

The mechanical response of arteries under physiological loads can be delineated into
passive and active components. The passive response is governed by the load-bearing …

Currently, there is no full three-dimensional (3D) microstructural mechanical model of
coronary artery based on measured microstructure including elastin, collagen and smooth …

We present a novel framework for investigating the role of vascular structure on arterial
haemodynamics in large vessels, with a special focus on the human common carotid artery …
