A Microvascular Wall Shear Rate Function Derived From In Vivo Hemodynamic and Geometric Parameters in Continuously Branching Arterioles
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Conventional approaches to WSR estimation in the microcirculation involve assumptions that may result in under-/over-estimation of WSR. Therefore, our objectives were: (i) calculate WSR from RBC velocity profiles for a wide range of arteriolar diameters, (ii) provide an experimentally derived and straightforward WSR estimation function, and (iii) compare calculated to conventional WSR estimations.
METHODS: We characterized RBC …
