Abstract:Several lumped models have been proposed to characterize the elastic behavior of the epicardial coronary artery, which are based on well-controlled animal experiments. It is still unclear as to which model is most suitable for analyzing the physiological pressure-flow data for the normal catheterization labs. In this research, different perfusion pressure patterns measured from a mongrel dog were used to drive four mathematical models to investigate the influence of the pressure dependence and viscoelastic eff… Show more
