The pressure waveform at the aorta and the stenosis from the transient simulation. The pressure dropped due to the stenosis compared to the pressure of the aorta. The FFRCTA was calculated as the ratio dividing the average pressure at the stenosis in one period of heart cycle by the average pressure at the ostium of the coronary artery in the aorta. The FFRCTA value presented in the figure was, for example, 0.88
