Figure 3.

The distribution of differences of WSS and LDL filtration rate, of the inner-narrowed and outer-narrowed models compared with the enlarged model, in patient-specific static models. A red color indicates a larger difference and blue or green color indicates a smaller difference, in the parameter of the inner-narrowed or outer-narrowed model against the enlarged model (as a reference model that is not shown in the figure). For instance, there is larger difference in WSS in the stented segment and an immediate branch (in red color), but smaller difference in WSS in other regions (blue color), in the inner-narrowed model in case 1 in the left panel, as compared with WSS in the enlarged model.
