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

Figure 8

Cross-sectional views of F–J at the left anterior descending. Flow velocity observed with and without presence of plaque models during systolic peak of 0.4 s and middiastolic phase of 0.7 s. Arrows point to the low flow velocity areas at post-plaque locations due to interference of plaques.
