High-risk coronary plaque refers to a distinct set of plaque characteristics prone to future
coronary events. Coronary physiology represents a group of indexes reflective of the local …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of blood flow in human coronary artery is one of
the emerging fields of Biomed-ical engineering. In present review paper, Finite Volume …

Objectives The authors investigated the utility of noninvasive hemodynamic assessment in
the identification of high-risk plaques that caused subsequent acute coronary syndrome …

It has been known for some time that atherosclerotic lesions preferentially develop in areas
exposed to low SS and are characterized by a proinflammatory, apoptotic, and senescent …

Background: Coronary lesions with low fractional flow reserve (FFR) that are treated
medically are associated with higher revascularization rates. High wall shear stress (WSS) …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether low endothelial shear stress (ESS) adds
independent prognostication for future major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in coronary …

Wall shear stress (WSS) has been shown to be associated with myocardial infarction (MI)
and progression of atherosclerosis. Wall elasticity is an important feature of hemodynamic …

This review provides an integrative and forward-looking perspective on the gamut of
coronary physiology for the diagnosis and management of atherosclerosis. Because clinical …

Atherosclerosis is an important cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Lipid infiltration, inflammation, and altered vascular stress are the critical mechanisms that …

Background: Although wall shear stress (WSS) and pressure play important roles in plaque
vulnerability, characteristics of the two indices in intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) have not …
