Correlations of coronary plaque wall thickness with wall pressure and wall pressure gradient: a representative case study

Correlations of coronary plaque wall thickness with wall pressure and wall pressure gradient: a representative case study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>There are two major hemodynamic stresses imposed at the blood arterial wall interface by flowing blood: the wall shear stress (WSS) acting tangentially to the wall, and the wall pressure (WP) acting normally to the wall. The role of...
