Key result
In 10 patients with three-vessel disease, good collaterality or absence of anterior myocardial infarction correlated with better predicted coronary perfusion and lower microvascular resistances.
Observational (n=10)
An analog electrical model can simulate coronary hemodynamics that correlate well with clinical parameters like collaterality and history of MI in patients with three-vessel disease.

Electrical models may aid perfusion assessment in three-vessel disease; extends correlations of collaterality and prior MI with microvascular resistance.
Abouliatim et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Three-Vessel Disease (n=10). Good collaterality (Rentrop score = 3) or absence of anterior myocardial infarction vs. Poor collaterality or presence of anterior myocardial infarction was evaluated on Predicted hydrodynamic data (distribution of flows and pressures across the coronary network). In 10 patients with three-vessel disease, good collaterality or absence of anterior myocardial infarction correlated with better predicted coronary perfusion and lower microvascular resistances.
