Endoluminal EIS measurements in the aortic arch of NZW rabbits (a) EIS measurements were performed on 5 normal endoluminal sites and 5 plaque sites of the aortic arch tissue from two high-fat diet fed rabbits. Average impedance values at frequency range from 100 Hz to 300 kHz for healthy and plaque tissue from Rabbit 1 and Rabbit 2 were presented as Normal 1, Normal 2 (healthy tissue) and Plaque 1 and Plaque 2 (Plaque tissue), respectively (n = 5 for each group). Vertical bar denotes standard deviation. Baseline impedance measured from PBS solution alone was illustrated as a reference. (b) Differences in measured impedance from normal and plaque tissue were the most significant between operating frequency 10–100 kHz (* p<0.01, n = 10).
