Figure 6. Wall Shear Stress at Sites of Plaque Erosion is Neither High Nor Low.

Figure 6

Box plots of temporal mean WSS over the cardiac cycle with superimposed WSS magnitude at site of thrombus formation revealed that extreme magnitudes of WSS were not associated with plaque erosion in these patients. Whiskers represent minimum and maximum WSS of all elements, the box represents the 25th/75th percentile of elements, and the middle line represents median WSS.
