  1. 1. Designing an Experimental Protocol for Separating Active Diameter Response from Passive Response in Small Blood Vessels

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Amanda Peterson; [2017]
    Keywords : Experimental protocol; pressure myograph; vessel diameter; passive response; active response; artificial vessel; biomechanics;

    Abstract : The knowledge of blood vessel biomechanics is used for understanding and developing treatments for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this project was to develop an experimental protocol, for education and research, that separates active diameter response from the passive, as a function of the intraluminal pressure in a pressure myograph.

  3. 2. Biomechanics of Arterial Smooth Muscle. : - Analyzing vascular adaptation of large elastic arteries using in vitro experiments and 3D finite element modeling.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Susanne Lewin; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A number of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection and atherosclerosis) are associated with altered biomechanical properties in the vascular wall. This thesis studies vascular adaptation and its resulting alteration in biomechanical properties. READ MORE
