Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Contrast Agent Bolus Dispersion in a Coronary Bifurcation: Impact on MRI-Based Quantification of Myocardial Perfusion

Table 1

List of the outflow conditions, scaling factors for the original pulsatile velocity pattern, and associated mean velocity values that have been used for the constant velocity simulations.

		Outflow condition (LAD/LCX) (%)	Scaling factor pulsatile	Mean velocity (m/s)
Full autoregulation	Rest	50.0/50.0	1.000	0.200
	Hyperemia	50.0/50.0	2.300	0.460
Limited autoregulation	Rest	45.3/54.7	0.915	0.183
	Hyperemia	35.1/64.9	1.773	0.355
