Computational domain. Structure of the 27 main segments of the left coronary arteries. The dimensions of a normal anatomic distribution of coronary artery segments are based on 83 angiographies by Dodge et al. [68, 69]. A series of two consecutive myocardial bridges is situated in the mid LAD. In this case we have coloured the segments according to the pressure distribution calculated by the proposed boundary layer model (high pressure is coloured red, while low pressure is coloured blue). The dark blue, vertical cylinder indicates a segment of the ascending aorta.
