Hemodynamic Analysis of Pig's Left Common Coronary Artery (LCCA) (II)

좌주간부 관상동맥(LCCA)에 관한 혈류역학적 분석 (II)

The distributions of blood pressure, blood flow, and blow volume in the left common artery (LCCA) were determined using the lumping parameter method. In order to develop a mathematical model for microcirculation in LCCA, the present study adopted preexisted set of measured morphological data on anatomy, mechanical properties of the coronary vessels, viscosity of blood, the basic laws of physics, and the appropriate boundary condition. Pressures and volumes of blood and flow resistance were expressed in terms of electrical voltages, current, and resistances, respectively, in the electrical analog model. The results of two mathematical models, symmetrical and asymmetrical models, were compared with other investigator's data. The present results were in good agreement with previous studies. It was found that the mean pressure profiles were similar in both models.
