Association Between Atherosclerosis in Carotid Artery and Elastic Modulus of Brachial Artery [PDF]
Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2007 Background: Common carotid arterial stiffness can be assessed during carotid arterial ultrasonography, but its association with brachial stiffness, a well-defined cardiovascular risk factor, has not been clarified.

The relationship between C-reactive protein and subclinical carotid arteriosclerosis in military pilots [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2009 Background/Aim. Inflammation plays a key role in the physiopathology of arteriosclerosis. C-reactive protein (CRP) and common carotid artery intima-media thickness are independent predictors of cardiovascular events and diabetes mellitus in apparently ...

In vitro histomechanical effects of enzymatic degradation in carotid arteries during inflation tests with pulsatile loading [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2020,
103, pp.103550, 2019 In this paper, the objective is to assess the histomechanical effects of collagen proteolysis in arteries under loading conditions reproducing in vivo environment. Thirteen segments of common porcine carotid arteries (8 proximal and 5 distal) were immersed in a bath of bacterial collagenase and tested with a pulsatile tension/inflation machine ...

Surface Metrology of Cerebral Arteries Luminal Surface [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Atherosclerotic lesions within carotid and cerebral vessels are likely to influence hemodynamics and manifest into vascular pathologies, including Alzheimers Disease and ischemic stroke. Hemodynamics are influenced by changes in luminal diameter of vessels and wall shear stress derived from turbulence, which directly relates to the surface topography ...
