Identifying sm22 as a key player in arterial diseases
… markers including SM22 is down-regulated in arterial diseases including atherosclerosis where inflammation and osteochondrogenesis are present. However, the role of this downregulation in arterial pathogenesis is unknown. Hypothesis : Downregulation of SM22 may actively contribute to arterial …

Determination of Aortic Elasticity from MR- and CT- Images Using an Automatic Active Contour Model
… applications for clinical trials predicting arterial diseases before they become morphologically apparent. The elasticity is usually quantified by compliance measurements. Therefore, the relative temporal change in vessel cross-sectional area through the cardiac cycle or alternatively, the …

MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PORCINE AORTA USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
… of the most fatal degenerative cardiovascular diseases: abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA). The approach presented in this work to achieve this goal couples Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with Finite Element (FE) analysis to define a model of aortic mechanical behaviour. In particular, the aortic …

Numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries using fluid-structure interactions
… is the primary cause. To investigate these arterial diseases, numerical simulations of blood flow in the arteries using fluid-structure interactions (FSI) with the finite element method were performed. First, simulations were performed assuming the arterial walls are rigid, and then they …
