Evaluation of different indices to measure elastic properties of the aorta in a pulsatile mock circulation loop
In this experimental setup, we could show that aortic elasticity is highly dependent on blood pressure. None of the formulas currently used provides a consistent value over the tested pressure range. A formula that can give a consistent value for aortic stiffness would be highly desirable.
