Vulnerable plaque is considered to be the cause of most clinical coronary arteries, and linear cytokines are an important factor causing plaque instability.
The purpose of the study on the pathological and physiological mechanisms of vulnerable plaques in ACS(Acute Coronary Syndrome) patients is conducting a more accurate quantitative analysis of the degree of ACS lesions to guide early clinical intervention to reduce the incidence and mortality of ACS.
The show that it was found that CFD(Computational fluid dynamics) can accurately capture the hemodynamic characteristics around the plaque.
As the degree of stenosis increased, the blood flow speed increased remarkably.
