| Resumo |
The elastic properties of the arterial wall have been the subject of physiological, clinical and biomedical research for many years. There is convincing evidence that the elastic properties of the large arteries are seriously impaired in the presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), due to alterations in the intrinsic structural and functional characteristics of vessels [1]. Early detection of changes in the elastic modulus of arteries would provide a powerful tool for both monitoring patients at high cardiovascular risk and testing the effects of pharmaceuticals aimed at stabilizing existing plaques by stiffening them or lowering the lipids. |
