Fig. 4From: Investigating heartbeat-related in-plane motion and stress levels induced at the aortic rootAortic diameters and distensibility for AA, PDA and DDA. Diameter time-history under the three-cycle pressure loading (a); aortic distensibility in simulation comparing with the literature data (b). The vertical dotted lines indicate the moments when the diameters were recorded for distensibility analysisBack to article page
