Investigation of Arterial Geometry as a Local Risk Factor for Carotid Atherosclerosis
There is little doubt that disturbed hemodynamic forces play a role in the development of focal atherosclerotic lesions; however, these forces are difficult to measure directly. Instead, it has been proposed that artery geometry, as the primary determinant of local hemodynamics, could be a clinical...
