The combined impact of mechanical factors on the wall stress of the human ascending aorta – a finite elements study

Abstract Background Biomechanical factors influence stress in the aortic wall. The aim of this study was to assess how the diameter and shape of the vessel, blood pressure and longitudinal systolic aortic stretching (SAS) caused by the contraction of the myocardium influence stress in the aortic wal...
