Hemodynamic diagnostics of epicardial coronary stenoses: <it>in-vitro </it>experimental and computational study
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The severity of epicardial coronary stenosis can be assessed by invasive measurements of trans-stenotic pressure drop and flow. A pressure or flow sensor-tipped guidewire inserted across the coronary stenosis causes an overestimation...
