P9.06 EVIDENCE FOR A ROLE OF THE VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM IN THE REGULATION OF ARTERIAL WALL VISCOSITY IN VIVO IN HUMANS

Although the viscoelasticity of large arteries has been extensively investigated, few studies have focused on arterial wall viscosity (AWV) itself and its regulation by the endothelium in vivo. This is of particular importance since AWV is a major source of energy dissipation through the vascular sy...
