Correlation between stiffness and extracellular matrix was compared for (A) collagen density, (B) elastin density, (C) collagen disarray, (D) elastin disarray and (E) ratio of collagen to elastin density. All parameters showed a linear correlation between stiffness and the extracellular matrix. The best correlations were for elastin disarray and collagen disarray.
