Figure 7
Blue-colored regions show similar AWSS (time-averaged wall shear stress) as healthy arteries (<5 Pa). Green-colored regions are larger than those observed in the healthy body (7–12 Pa). Yellow- and red-colored regions indicate markedly stenosed areas (>13 Pa), with AWSS values being one order of magnitude higher than those typically observed in the healthy vascular system. The length along the vessel section is 7.5 mm. Reproduced with permission from Holme et al. (2014). Copyright (2014), Springer Nature. |
