Abstract

The analysis of carotid ultrasound (US) flow, velocity, and diameter waveforms provides important information about cardiovascular and circulatory health. These can be used to derive clinical indices of atherosclerosis, vascular aging, and hemodynamic status. To derive clinical insight from carotid waveforms, it is essential to understand the relationship of the observed variability in morphology with the underlying hemodynamic status and cardiovascular properties. For this purpose, using a one-dimensional modeling approach, we have developed and validated a virtual population that is able to realistically simulate carotid waveforms of healthy subjects aged between 10 and 80 years old.Clinical Relevance-Our virtual population of carotid waveforms can support the interpretation of US patient data. It can be used, e.g., to investigate how waveform morphology and derived indices relate to individual arterial and cardiac properties.
