Animal data on vascular series elastic stiffness warrant no clinical model changes; leaves open yielding versus force-generation roles in vivo.
The study suggests that the series elastic element in vascular muscle either undergoes mechanical yielding at high stresses or is an integral part of the force-generating apparatus.
Philip B. Dobrin (1974) studied this question.
