Hemodynamic effects of stenosis with varying severity in different segments of the carotid artery using computational fluid dynamics

Carotid atherosclerosis is a leading cause of ischemic stroke. As a result of atherosclerotic plaque formation, the carotid artery lumen narrows, leading to significant hemodynamic alterations. These ...

Mechanics of non-Newtonian blood flow in an artery having multiple stenosis and electroosmotic effects

The electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic across an artery with multiple stenosis is mathematically evaluated. The non-Newtonian behaviour of blood flow is tackled by utilizing Casson fluid model ...

Novel CT exam reduces need for invasive artery treatment

"When you objectively measure coronary artery flow with CT-FFR, you induce fewer patients to be further investigated and treated, because you tend to treat not just what the eyeball sees, but what the ...
