Assessment of the nano-mechanical properties of healthy and atherosclerotic coronary arteries by atomic force microscopy.

In figure 4 c , co-registered measurements from the region of the fibrous cap ( n = 24) within diseased tissue sections were added to the dataset of the healthy group ( figure 3 ) which showed a trend towards a positive correlation between Young's modulus and collagen fibre density (Pearson's ρ = 0.53, p = 0.036).
