Measuring Coronary Artery Capillary Resistance with Variable Inflow Conditions

A better understanding of the effects of variable inflow velocities on coronary capillary resistance is essential to creating a predictive model for personalized coronary flow. This paper proposes an experimental setup and presents measurement results for coronary artery capillary resistance with variable inflow conditions. A peristaltic pump with a programmable controller is used to pump fluid in...
