Cardiovascular mechanics investigates the movement of the heart and of peripheral and central arteries, resulting from the pressure and flow of blood. Mechanical properties of cardiovascular tissue are the result of the interplay between tissue composition and the forces exerted on it. Ultrasound technology allows assessment of cardiovascular motion and of tissue stiffness. Cardiovascular tissue motion can be calculated from conventional ultrasound videos if coupled with image analysis methods.
