Numerical study to indicate the vulnerability of plaques using an idealized 2D plaque model based on plaque classification in the human coronary artery.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of death in the world. In this study, an idealized 2D plaque model based on plaque classification in the coronary artery is developed. When creating the idealized 2D model for each plaque type (fibrocalcic, FC; fibrofatty, FT; calcified fibroatheroma, CaF...
