Haemodynamic wall shear stress acting on the vascular endothelium is a typical example of this. Even in case direct measurement is possible, it may not be easy if it is to be done in blood vessels ...
Methods Patient-specific models of epicardial coronary arteries were reconstructed from cCTA in 80 patients (12 women, 63.8±9.0 years). The pressure and wall shear stress (WSS) in left anterior ...
METHODS--Intracoronary ultrasound and pressure measurements were performed in a patient with myocardial bridging in the left anterior descending coronary artery. A 3.5 F, 20 MHz probe was used to ...
Results Two clinical factors (younger age and atherosclerosis), three morphological factors (higher aspect ratio, bifurcation type, and irregular shape), and six hemodynamic factors (lower mean and ...
