The present investigation concentrates on one particular problem related to fluid mechanics: namely, the description of disturbed flow fields in the coronary atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis creating a constriction can significantly alter the local blood flow dynamics.
From a biological aspect, the changes that take place in the flow have a profound effect on the structure and function of the arterial wall and the development of the disease.
The purpose of this paper was to non-invasively assess hemodynamic parameters, such as mass flow, wall shear stress, and wall pressure, with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in coronary arteriosclerosis using patient-specific data from computed tomography (CT) angiography.
