Interplay of Aging and Hypertension in Cardiac Remodeling: A Mathematical Geometric Model.
Hypertensive disorder can cause cardiac deformities. Elastic characteristic parameters, like Young's modulus of elasticity (E) derived from a traditional cylindrical model, increase significantly with aging. However, the geometric and component changes of aging hearts because of chronic hyperte...
