Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disease characterized by focal cholesterol accumulation and insoluble inflammation in arterial intima, leading to the formation of an atherosclerotic plaque consisting of lipids, cells, and fibrous matrix. The presence of plaque

High-Intensity Helical Flow: A Double-Edged Sword in Coronary Artery Haemodynamics [PDF]
The role of Helical Flow (HF) in human coronary arteries remains uncertain, yet its understanding promises unprecedented insights into atherosclerotic processes. In this study, we investigated the effects of HF and key haemodynamic descriptors in 39 patient-specific left coronary artery trees from the ASOCA dataset, including 20 non-stenosed and 19 ...
