Mathematical modeling of transport phenomena in composite arterial coronary grafts
Abstract
The nearly epidemic expansion of cardiovascular diseases in western societies consist a serious threat to public health. In the last few decades, the proliferation of cardiovascular events along with the perpetual increase of life expectancy, generate the need for novel methodologies and tools in order to assist diagnostic and therapeutic management and design. The investigation of biochemical and mechanical factors within complex biological systems, such as encountered in coronary networks, merges multidisciplinary scientific fields. Although the mechanisms for the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis are not fully understood, it is well accepted that local blood flow dynamics play a major role in the localization of coronary artery disease (CAD). It has been shown that the most important risk factors for the development of CAD are low and/or high wall shear stress (WSS) regions, high pressure distributions along the vessels and long residence times of blood cells and lipoids ...
