Aortic Stiffness Hysteresis in Isolated Mouse Aortic Segments Is Intensified by Contractile Stimuli, Attenuated by Age, and Reversed by Elastin Degradation
Aim: Cyclic stretch of vascular tissue at any given pressure reveals greater dimensions during unloading than during loading, which determines the cardiac beat-by-beat hysteresis loop on the pressure-diameter/volume relationship. The present study did not focus on hysteresis during a single stretch...
