Arterial wall shear strain during the cardiac cycle merits mechanistic studies; leaves open its contribution to atherosclerosis.
This study demonstrates significant bidirectional longitudinal movement and resulting shear strain in the arterial wall during the cardiac cycle, which may be important for understanding vascular biology and atherosclerosis.
Cinthio et al. (2006) studied this question.
