Pulse Wave Velocity: A Clinical Measure To Aid Material Parameter Estimation In Computational Arterial Biomechanics KU Leuven Ghent University
Determining proper material parameters from clinical data remains a large, though unavoidable, challenge in patient-specific computational cardiovascular modeling. In an attempt to couple the clinical and modelling practice, this study investigated whether pulse wave velocity (PWV), a clinical arterial stiffness measure, can guide in determining appropriate parameter values for the Gasser-Ogden-Holzapfel (GOH) constitutive model. The reduction ...
