12.5 IMPAIRED REGULATION OF ARTERIAL WALL VISCOSITY DURING CHANGES IN BLOOD FLOW IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS
Background: Arterial wall viscosity (AWV) is a major source of cardiac energy dissipation along the arterial tree. Evolution of AWV during increase in blood flow and the impact of essential hypertension on this evolution have never been studied. Methods: Radial artery diameter, wall thickness and a...
