title: Frequency response of the arterial wall.
abstract: The high frequency response of human common iliac arterial segments in vitro was investigated. It was found that at those high frequencies the response resembles that of a second order underdamped system. However, to stimulate the arterial response throughout the frequency range, a higher order model is required. A fifth order system appears to describe the observed behaviour in a satisfactory way between 0.02 and 200 Hz.
