Wall shear stress revisited
In vivo measurements of wall shear stress (WSS), a determinant of endothelial cell function and gene expression, have shown that theoretical assumptions regarding WSS in the arterial system and its calculation are invalid. In humans mean WSS varies along the arterial tree and is higher in the caroti...
