tortuosity of CA, mechanical deformation of CA.Abstract
Tortuosity of coronary arteries (CA) is pathology famous to cardiologists and visible during coronary angiography. However, etiology, clinical significance of coronary tortuosity and biomechanical factors are little-studied and rarely discussed in the literature [1]. One of the reasons of CA tortuosity may be their mechanical deformation. Modern researches give almost no attention to this issue. The influence on the tortuosity of the CA was determined, using statistical methods of analysis. The threshold level of engineering strain of CA was calculated. The article concerns the aspects of the software creation that makes it possible to calculate the strains of the coronary arteries. The method can be used to study not only the mechanisms of formation of CA tortuosity, but also for decision-making as to the appropriateness and safety of coronary stent insertion.References
