It employs a computational model to assess how age, sex, and blood pressure influence arterial wall remodeling, crucial for understanding conditions like hypertension and aneurysm development. The study includes data from healthy volunteers and utilizes both invasive and non-invasive measurement techniques. Key findings indicate sex-based differences in stress components and material properties, with implications for vascular health and disease progression. The research aims to enhance risk assessment methods for vascular diseases, targeting medical researchers and clinicians. ER -
