3.7 CHANGES OF INTRINSIC STIFFNESS OF THE CAROTID ARTERIAL WALL DURING THE CARDIAC CYCLE MEASURED BY SHEAR WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY IN HYPERTENSIVES COMPARED TO NORMOTENSIVES

3.7 CHANGES OF INTRINSIC STIFFNESS OF THE CAROTID ARTERIAL WALL DURING THE CARDIAC CYCLE MEASURED BY SHEAR WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY IN HYPERTENSIVES COMPARED TO NORMOTENSIVES

Objective: Because measurement of arterial stiffness is highly dependent on blood pressure (BP), methods independent of BP are required. Shear wave elastography (SWE, Supersonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France) enables to assess local tissue stiffness by tracking the propagation of shear waves gene...
