Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Science
- Biomedical Engineering
- Medical Imaging
Context:
- Atherosclerosis diagnosis and monitoring
- Evaluation of arterial and organ health
- Need for quantitative assessment tools
Purpose:
- To introduce a novel atherometric system for evaluating atherosclerotic changes.
- To describe the system's arterial and organ-dependent functions.
- To enable quantitative estimation of pathomorphological and pathophysiological alterations.
Summary:
- The described system quantifies atherosclerotic changes in individual arteries and affected organs.
- It integrates arterial and organ-dependent functions.
- Biophysical and mathematical methods are employed for precise pathomorphological and pathophysiological estimations.
Impact:
- Potential for improved diagnosis and management of atherosclerosis.
- Enhanced understanding of disease progression in vascular and organ systems.
- Facilitates personalized medicine approaches in cardiovascular care.
Abstract:
Atherometric system designed for the evaluation of the atherosclerotic changes in the individual arteries and alterations in the organs affected is described. The system includes two groups of functions--arterial and organ-dependent. Using these interrelated functions and biophysical and mathematical methods it becomes possible to estimate quantitatively pathomorphological and pathophysiological changes in the arteries and organs supplied by them.
