Funded Activity Summary

The aim of this project is to combine the recent technological advances within the individual fields of coronary physiology, three-dimensional coronary angiography, and computational fluid dynamics to develop a novel method to calculate realistic coronary blood flow. This technique will provide a simple and clinically applicable method to measure physiological parameters such as microcirculatory resistance and shear stress within _live� human coronary arteries.
