Before revision:  Simulations performed considering both the simple elastic and the more realistic viscoelastic constitutive law show that including viscoelasticity in the FSI model consistently improves the reliability of pressure waveforms prediction. Results of the patient-specific tests suggest that the proposed methodology could be a valuable tool for improving cardiovascular diagnostics and the treatment of diseases .
After revision:  Simulations performed considering both the simple elastic and the more realistic viscoelastic constitutive law show that including viscoelasticity in the FSI model consistently improves the reliability of pressure waveforms , enlarging the confidence interval of this variable. In-vivo recorded patient-specific tests suggest that the proposed methodology could be a valuable tool for improving cardiovascular diagnostics and the treatment of diseases .
