A novel non-invasive ultrasonic method to assess total axial stress of the common carotid artery wall in healthy and atherosclerotic men

In the present study, developing a new non-invasive method independent from blood flow, we estimated and compared the total axial stress of the common carotid artery wall in healthy and atherosclerotic subjects. Consecutive ultrasonic images of the common carotid artery of 48 male subjects including...
