Abstract
- Alteration of the flow characteristics in coronary vessels is correlated with coronary heart disease (CHD). In particular, wall shear stress (WSS) appears to be a hemody-namic key factor in the genesis of CHD. Since computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a well-known method for the inves-tigation of WSS, it may be a valuable tool for the prediction of CHD. Latest imaging techniques, such as optical coher-ence tomography (OCT) in conjunction with angiography deliver precise 2D data sets of patient-specific vessel geome-try, which can be used for CFD analysis. Current CFD stud-ies utilize patient-specific geometries, but are lacking well defined physiologic inflow conditions.
