🩺 How accurate are simplified #CFD models in coronary flow analysis?

Our latest study compares the flow-split outflow strategy to the gold-standard multiscale simulation across resting & hyperaemic conditions.

🫀 Why do men and women experience coronary disease so differently?

Our work revealed distinct anatomical and blood flow patterns in the left main coronary bifurcation — even in patients without stenosis.

Our study of 127 CTCA scans reveals that key left main coronary anatomy features, like vessel twists, predict *early* coronary disease.

This could enable early risk assessment from standard imaging 🧠💻
