Prescribed pressure conditions for the baseline model and corresponding flow rates. (a) A simplified pressure profile for human coronary artery was scaled to 70–130 mmHg and used as the upstream pressure (Pin). Down stream pressure was chosen so that flow rate was within physiological range; (b) Flow rate corresponding to the prescribed pressure conditions with and without cyclic bending. Cyclic bending reduced max flow rate by about 2.5%.
