A dynamic simulation was performed in order to study the high zero-flow pressure phenomenon by using an electronic model of the coronary vessel. The objective of this study was to establish a relationship between the diastolic arterial pressure and diastolic arterial flow. The simulated study showed that this relationship is approximately linear with a zero flow pressure intercept of approximately 40 mmHg. This result is consistent with the results obtained in animal experimentation conducted by others.
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.
