Box plots comparing WSS, helicity, flow rate, and morphometry in human and swine coronary arteries. For each population, right (RCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery geometries are grouped and distinguished by box color (blue, magenta, and green, respectively). WSS column: TAWSS - time-average wall shear stress, OSI - oscillatory shear index, RRT - relative residence time, transWSS - transverse wall shear stress; Helicity column: h ₁ - average helicity, h ₂ - average helicity intensity, h ₃ - signed balance of counter rotating helical flow structures, h ₄ - unsigned balance of counter rotating helical flow structures; Flow column: Q_in - inflow rate; Morphometry column: κ - curvature, τ - torsion, DM - distance metric, SI - similarity index. Median and interquartile range are displayed for each descriptor. *p < 0.05.
