The pressure gradient can be estimated across stenoses noninvasively. The Young model was more accurate than the simplified Bernoulli equation in this model using steady flow. Estimated gradients are highly dependent on the definition of the vascular lumen, a process aided by the use of sonographic contrast.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
