Abstract:
Cardio-vascular diseases such as heart attack are one of the major causes of mortality worldwide. The mechanical properties of blood vessels play an important role in this area. Tissue therapy seems to be a promising way for such diseases. The engineered tissue must be as close as possible to the real material. Then modelling the mechanical behavior of the latter is of paramount importance. Due to its complexity, we believe that a top-down phenomenological approach is appropriate. Adopting a constrained microstretch approach (dilatation elasticity), we show that the approach is meaningful in the case of cardiac tissue with respect to heart infarct.
