Transient integral boundary layer method to calculate the translesional pressure drop and the fractional flow reserve in myocardial bridges

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The pressure drop – flow relations in myocardial bridges and the assessment of vascular heart disease via fractional flow reserve (FFR) have motivated many researchers the last decades. The aim of this study is to simulate several cl...
