“…Several factors may be responsible for variable intergroup differences, ranging from decrease to increase in DBP, to similarity, among high‐quantity cocoa consumers compared to smaller‐quantity cocoa consumers. DBP is a hemodynamic parameter that is dependent on peripheral arteriolar resistance and on the condition of the wall of the large arterial trunks (Asmar, 2007 ).…”

Background Some previous works have focused on dose‐response relationship between cocoa consumption and blood pressure in Caucasians. As black subjects have lower nitric oxide bioavailability, the aim of this work was to determine the dose‐effect relation between cocoa and blood pressure in black Africans. Method One hundred and thirty healthy black African males aged 18–30 were randomly assigned into four groups: three groups consuming 10 g, 5 g, or 2 g of cocoa powder daily for three weeks and one control group that did not consume cocoa. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were measured on day 1 (D1, before any subject consumed cocoa), D8, D15, and D22. Means of the parameters at each of the four visits and changes of the means were compared among the groups. Results Significant decrease in SBP was noted in consumers of 10 g compared to controls in the 1st week, and compared to consumers of 2 g in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of follow‐up. Means and changes of DBP were statistically similar among the four groups. Conclusion Among our cohort, decrease in SBP was significantly greater in the heavy cocoa consumer group (10 g) compared to the low consumer group (2 g), but there was no statistically significant difference when compared with the intermediate consumer group (5 g). The dose‐response relationship between cocoa consumption and changes in SBP was not linear. No relationship was found between cocoa consumption and DBP.

“…The mechanical behavior of the thoracic aorta is linked to the blood pressure (artery pressure) [1] where the pulsating feature triggers dilatations and deformations of the wall which is constituted of three coats (layers) (the tunica intima, the tunica media and the tunica adventitia). This dilatation may multiply the risk of developing some pathology such as: the aneurysm and the dissection [2,3].…”

The human body has been the subject of thorough researches—not only from medical perspective but from a technical one as well—are very rich, amongst them we find blood circulation system comprising: the heart, the arteries and the veins. The overriding role of these researches is to explain some cardiovascular pathology and provide an aid tool for the endoprothesis positioning in blood vessels while treating them. In this study we have developed a digital pattern using the common (engineering technique of the) finite element method (FEM) to simulate the mechanical behavior of the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta below the kidney under blood pressure effect. This pattern calculates the displacements, the stresses (constraints) and the deformations of the two arteries’ walls enabling us to know their experimentally determined mechanical and geometric properties. This pattern could be applied to detect the aneurysm and dissection phenomena
