Computational insights on coronary artery function.

Published in: Nature cardiovascular research (2022)

Collateral arteries may act as natural bypasses that reduce hypoperfusion after a coronary blockage. 3D imaging of neonatal and adult mouse hearts, plus human fetal and diseased adult hearts, is now used to computationally predict flow within the heart, and understand the cardioprotective role of collateral arteries in vivo.
