Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of the Effect of Plaques in the Left Coronary Artery

Figure 6

Pressure gradient observed in coronary models with and without plaques during systolic peak of 0.4 s and middiastolic phase of 0.7 s. Arrows indicate the high PSG locations where plaques may induce potential rupture or further atherosclerotic changes.
