TABLE 3.

Problematic reported ranges of near-wall hemodynamic parameters (RRT, OSI, and TAWSS). Normal zone as well as low- to high-risk zones are defined based on literature reports.

Parameter Normal range [5458] Low-risk range High-risk range[56,59,60]




TAWSS [Pa] 1.0 to 7.0 0.4 to 1.0 ≤0.4
OSI ≤0.2 0.2 to 0.3 ≥0.3
RRT [m2/N] - <10 ≥10

TAWSS: time-averaged wall shear stress; OSI: oscillatory shear index; RRT: relative residence time.
