Biomechanical investigation examines the physical extensibility of the pulmonary trunk wall in humans, highlighting factors governing pulmonary hemodynamics.
The mechanical properties of the walls of blood vessels have an important influence on the flow of blood and passage of pulse waves along them. Though a certain amount of information is available concerning the mechanical properties of the aorta and its main branches Hence, in view of the increasing interest in human pulmonary hmmodynamics, it seemed worth while to investigate the physical characteristics of the wall of the pulmonary trunk in man.
