About This Trial
The aorta distributes cardiac stroke volume into the whole body through its finetuned conductance function, that is propagation and modulation of flow pattern. Physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall assure continuous and homogenous blood flow distribution to organs. The physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall are heterotopic: The collagen/elastin ratio doubles in the abdominal aorta a…
