Figure 3
Progression of derived markers for the ligated carotids of groups B (blue) and C (orange). The stiffness of the less ligated group (40–90%) increases as indicated by the compliance (g, h) and the PWV (c, d), whereas the stiffness of the ligated group decreases. Furthermore, a distinct progression in the radius can be observed (a). (a) The radius of the carotid lumen. (b) The estimated temporal-averaged wall shear stress. (c) The pulse wave velocity at diastolic (dia) pressure. (d) The pulse wave velocity at end-systole (end-sys). (e) The peak velocity. (f) The number of detected segments. (g) The compliance at diastolic (dia) pressure. (h) The compliance at end-systole (end-sys). The data are represented as the mean (bold) and the 95% confidence interval (transparent). Two-way mixed ANOVA was conducted to quantify the significance (*<0.05, **<0.01 and ***< 0.001, with Holm-Sidak correction).
