Refines flow dispersion estimates in coronary models; leaves open translation to human hemodynamics or practice.
Incorporating the longitudinal position matrix into geometric models of coronary vasculature significantly impacts the simulated hemodynamics, particularly flow dispersion.
Kassab et al. (1997) studied Coronary vasculature modeling. CM + LPM model vs. CM model was evaluated on Hemodynamics of coronary blood flow (nonuniformity or dispersion of flow distribution). Incorporating the longitudinal position matrix (LPM) into the connectivity matrix model affects the simulated hemodynamics of coronary blood flow, particularly the dispersion of flow distribution.
