HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Thomas Elgeti from the Universitu00e4t have published the research work: The effect of smoking on quantification of aortic stiffness by ultrasound time-harmonic elastography, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: This study shows for the first time that in_vivo THE of the human aorta can detect significantly higher stiffness of the aortic wall (i.e., 12%) in smokers compared to non-smokers. Despite these promising results, the study has some limitations.
• how: All experiments were conducted in accordance with the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki and in accordance . . .
