P5.8 TOWARDS IN VIVO BIAXIAL CHARACTERISATION OF CAROTID ARTERY MECHANICS
Background: The relative content and loading of collagen and elastin in the arterial wall determine in vivo longitudinal pre-stretch. Assessment of arterial distensibility at varying longitudinal pre-stretch could improve characterisation of arterial collagen-elastin matrix properties. We introduce...
