Axial shortening may bias carotid compliance estimates; leaves open whether this alters human risk assessment or requires adjusted models.
This in vivo study demonstrates that the common carotid artery undergoes significant axial systolic shortening during the cardiac cycle, suggesting that axial strain should be considered in compliance computations.
Tozzi et al. (2001) studied this question.
