Table 1.

Shear stress sensitivity values, τw*, calculated for the vessels used in the study at the average transmural pressures of 3 and 5 cmH2O

Shear sensitivity, τw*, dyne/cm2
Vessel Diameter, μm Pavg = 3 Pavg = 5
1 666 0.91 0.98
2 1069 0.29 0.43
3 964 0.39 0.57
4 857 0.08 0.46
5 612 1.45 2.54
6 665 0.72 0.82

As a reference, the calcium-free diameter at 5 cmH2O is also provided.
