Abstract

The conventional studies of the aging effect on cardio-vascular system are mostly obtained from human experiences and can only provide local information. In this study, the effect of fatigue fracture of arterial wall on the blood pressure was investigated by hemodynamic analysis. The aging process was simulated with three stages. The pulse wave velocity increased with age. The systolic blood pressure increases consistently but diastolic blood pressure decreases with age. The simulated results show in good accordance with the clinical ones.
