P8.14 ELASTIC MODULUS OF HUMAN AORTAS AS A MEASURE OF STIFFNESS
Background: Although arterial stiffness is of clinical interest, data on the elastic modulus of the human aortic wall are scarce. The aim of this work is to directly measure the elastic modulus of human aorta ex vivo. Methods: Using a standard tensiometer, we measured the elastic modulus (E) of hum...
