Computer modeling explores the effects of coronary stenosis and aortocoronary bypass on hemodynamics.
A computer model to simulate coronary fluid dynamics is described which can give some insight into the role of hemodynamics in health and disease. An understanding of the pressure-flow relationships of the coronary circulation has obvious clinical significance. However, experimental measurements are difficult due to the size and inaccessibility of the epicardial and intramyocardial vessels. The purpose of this study was to develop a computer model for the left epicardial coronary circulation based on the intramyocardial pump concept. The model was then used to study the combined effects of a coronary stenosis and a subsequent aortocoronary bypass. The complete model consists of the systemic circulation as well as the coronary circulation.
