Computational fluid dynamics analysis of the effect of simulated plaques in the left coronary artery: A preliminary study.

Background: Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of coronary artery disease which is formed by plaque presence inside the artery wall leading to blockage of the blood supply to the heart muscle. The mechanism of atherosclerotic development is dependent on the blood flow variations in the artery...
