Vorticity magnitude was defined as the measure of the rotation of blood in the flow field per second.
ACAOS = anomalous coronary arteries originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva; L = left; LCA = left coronary artery; R = right; RCA = right coronary artery; VM = vorticity magnitude; WSS = wall shear stress forces.
