Table 2 Comparison of arterial wall elastance determined in cold stress, room temperature and hot stress conditions
From: A vibration-based approach to quantifying the dynamic elastance of the superficial arterial wall
Parameters | Room temp (25 °C) | Cold stress (4 °C) | Hot stress (42 °C) |
|---|---|---|---|
Maximum elastance (106 dyne/cm) | 0.44 ± 0.182 | 0.611 ± 0.251*** (p = 0.001) | 0.363 ± 0.106* (p = 0.013) |
Minimum elastance (106 dyne/cm) | 0.378 ± 0.179 | 0.520 ± 0.242*** (p = 0.001) | 0.299 ± 0.107* (p = 0.014) |
Change of elastance (106 dyne/cm) | 0.063 ± 0.025 | 0.091 ± 0.038** (p = 0.002) | 0.064 ± 0.028 (p = 0.812) |
