In vivo MRI-based simulation of fatigue process: a possible trigger for human carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic plaque is subjected to a repetitive deformation due to arterial pulsatility during each cardiac cycle and damage may be accumulated over a time period causing fibrous cap (FC) fatigue, which may ultimately lead to rupture. In this study, we investigate the fatigue process...
