Microfabrication Approaches for Understanding the Role of Vascular Mechanics in Progressive Diseases
Vascular disease is a common cause of death that typically results from long-term alteration of vessel structure and function. The underlying mechanisms that lead to pathologic changes in the vasculature are largely unclear, especially in progressive diseases of the cerebral vessels. With the …

Investigations of photoplethysmography in the assessment of haemodynamics, vascular mechanics and haemorheology
Real‐time cardiovascular assessment is vital for monitoring patients at an early stage of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), at risk of reoccurrence of heart attacks and strokes and during pharmacological and non‐pharmacological treatments. Blood Pressure (BP), Arterial Stiffness (AS) and Blood …

Homeostatic Elastic States and the Stability of Elastic Arteries
<p>Vascular mechanics has undergone significant growth within the last 50 years owing to the rapid development of nonlinear continuum mechanics occurring roughly within the same period and motivated primarily by rubber materials. However, one important distinction of blood vessels, in contrast to …

Fluid-structure interaction modelling of a patient-specific arteriovenous access fistula
… detailed understanding of the haemodynamics and vascular mechanics in arteriovenous shunts that are required for haemodialysis treatments. A combination of new PCMRA imaging and computational modelling of in vivo blood flow aims to determine the haemodynamic conditions that may lead to the high …

A patient-specific FSI model for vascular access in haemodialysis
… improve the understanding of haemodynamics and vascular mechanics in arteriovenous shunting. To achieve the high flow rates that enable patients with renal disease to receive haemodialysis, a fistula is created between an artery and a vein. The patency rate of fistulas, especially those located …
