title: [The study of hemodynamic parameters of human internal carotid arteries depending on the age considering the sex and the localization of the artery].
abstract: The research of the ultrasound diameter, linear velocity and the resistance of internal carotid arteries of 647 people of both sexes aged from one to 74 years was conducted. Additionally, shear stress and the Reynolds number were calculated. During the period from early childhood to adolescence and from the first mature to old age there is an increase in the diameter of the internal carotid arteries. The phases of increased vascular resistance by the first period of childhood, adolescence and old age are observed. Volumetric flow rate has relatively stable parameters till adolescence, then it declines by old age. The average linear velocity, shear stress, and the Reynolds number diminish progressively twice with age. Laminar blood flow with local twists in the early stages of postnatal ontogenesis is characteristic of internal carotid arteries. The diameter of internal carotid arteries, vascular resistance index, blood flow velocity are higher in males than in females during most age periods. Shear stress in both internal carotid arteries during the age periods studied is symmetrical and has no sex differences.
