Computational and experimental assessment of influences of hemodynamic shear stress on carotid plaque

Abstract Background Studies have identified hemodynamic shear stress as an important determinant of endothelial function and atherosclerosis. In this study, we assess the influences of hemodynamic shear stress on carotid plaques. Methods Carotid stenosis phantoms with three severity (30, 50, 70%) we...
