Key result
Higher MAP lowers arterial natural frequency and increases mechanical vibration in mathematical simulations.
Why the study?
The relationship between mechanical vibration of the artery and hypertension-related cases was not mathematically analyzed.
Mathematical modeling suggests that increased blood pressure increases arterial mechanical vibration, which could theoretically lead to fatigue and failure.

May implicate vibration in hypertensive arterial damage; extends models but leaves open in vivo validation.
KUYE et al. (2014) studied Hypertension. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) increase was evaluated on Natural frequency and vibration of the artery. Mathematical simulations demonstrated that the natural frequency of the artery decreases and its mechanical vibration increases with an increase in mean arterial pressure.
