Myocardium-vessel interaction analysis of diameter, D vs. transluminal pressure, ΔP. A: Myocardium and vessel are stress-free with opening angle OA. B: The closed, unloaded (not stress-free) configuration. C: The system is loaded by external (myocardium induced, Pmyocard) and internal (blood pressure induced, Plumen) pressures. D: The predicted D(ΔP) relationship (solid line) compared to data (rectangles). (Adapted from Algranati4 with permission).
