Objective: The objective of this review was to identify quantitative biomechanical
measurements of human tissues, the methods for obtaining these measurements, and the …

Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, resulting in mortality,
elevated healthcare costs, diminished productivity, and reduced quality of life for individuals …

The increasing prevalence of finite element (FE) simulations in the study of atherosclerosis
has spawned numerous inverse FE methods for the mechanical characterization of …

The pathophysiology of atherosclerotic lesions, including plaque rupture triggered by
mechanical failure of the vessel wall, depends directly on the plaque morphology-modulated …

Atherosclerotic plaques can gradually develop in certain arteries. Disruption of fibrous tissue
in plaques can result in plaque rupture and thromboembolism, leading to heart attacks and …

According to the classical Windkessel model, the heart is the only power source for blood
flow, while the arterial system is assumed to be an elastic chamber that acts as a channel …

Recent progress in vascular growth mechanics has involved the use of computational
algorithms to address clinical problems with the use of three-dimensional patient specific …

Purpose For the evaluation and rupture risk assessment of intracranial aneurysms, clinical,
morphological and hemodynamic parameters are analyzed. The reliability of intracranial …

Endovascular plaque composition is strongly related to stent strut stress and is responsible
for strut fatigue, stent failure, and possible in-stent restenosis. To evaluate the effect of …

Atherosclerosis is a prevalent cause of acute coronary syndromes that consists of lipid
deposition inside the artery wall, creating an atherosclerotic plaque. Early detection may …
