document: Numerical modeling of the flow in stenosed coronary artery . The relationship between main hemodynamic parameters The severity of coronary arterial stenosis is usually measured by either simple geometrical parameters , such as percent diameter stenosis , or hemodynamically based parameters , such as the fractional flow reserve -LRB- FFR -RRB- or coronary flow reserve -LRB- CFR -RRB- . The present study aimed to establish a relationship between actual hemodynamic conditions and the parameters that define stenosis severity in the clinical setting . We used a computational model of the blood flow in a vessel with a blunt stenosis and an autoregulated vascular bed to simulate a stenosed blood vessel . A key point in creating realistic simulations is to properly model arterial autoregulation . A constant flow regulation mechanism resulted in CFR and FFR values that were within the physiological range , while a constant wall-shear stress model yielded unrealistic values . The simulation tools developed in the present study may be useful in the clinical assessment of single and multiple stenoses by means of minimally invasive methods
