Full biomechanical characterization of the coronary atherosclerotic plaque: biomechanics meets imaging (BIOCCORA)
Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
Myocardial infarction is responsible for nearly 40% of the mortality in the western world and is mainly triggered by rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. Biomechanical parameters play a major role in the generation and rupture of vulnerable plaques. I was the first to show the relationship between shear stress – one of the biomechanical parameters - and plaque fo ...
