The Biomechanical Study of Diseased Human Carotid, Femoral and Abdominal Aortic Tissue
The Biomechanical Study of Diseased Human Carotid, Femoral and Abdominal Aortic Tissue
This cross-sectional study aims to ascertain the mechanical properties of human carotid/femoral atherosclerotic plaque and abdominal aortic aneurysm tissue and correlate tissue mechanics with novel blood-based biomarkers of cardiovascular calcification.
The study is a non-randomised, controlled, cross-sectional study of diseased human carotid, femoral and abdominal aortic tissue.
