Investigators simulated blood flow in a sophisticated computational model of the internal carotid artery (ICA) at three stages of stenosis ― without blockage, with mild (30%) blockage, and with moderate (50%) blockage. They compared the effect of exercise-induced elevated heart rate (140 bpm) to […]
