Preface

Coronary artery disease (CAD) can cause inadequate myocardial perfusion and poor contractility, resulting in de cient cardiac output and potential heart failure. CAD is the leading cause of death worldwide, and by 2020, it is estimated that CAD will be the leading cause of disease burden (e.g., direct and indirect nancial cost, disability, mortality, morbidity) worldwide. In the United States, specically, CAD places the most severe clinical and nancial burden of the healthcare system than any other disease conditions. Currently, over 16 million Americans have CAD, whi ch is the leading cause of cardiovascular death in the United States (one out of every six deaths is caused by CAD). CAD is closely related to other condition s such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart failure. As a result, treatment for CAD in the United States leads to the highest cost of any disease condition (~ $100B per year). Between 2010 and 2030, the total direct medical cost of cardio­vascular diseases is projected to triple, from $270 billion in 2010 to $800B in 2030.
The coronary circulation consists of an integrated system of complex anatomy, mechanical properties, boundary conditions representing the hemodynamics, and myocardial-vessel interaction, which leads to phasic patterns of coronary blood ow into, within, and out of the myocardium. Coronary blood ow is substantially heterogeneous spatially (throughout the myocardium) and temporally (within car­diac cycle). These temporal and spatial heterogeneities are important physiologically and clinically but are difcult to study at the inner layers of the myocardium, where susceptibility to ischemia is an important clinical phenomenon. Hence, rigorous validated models of the coronary vasculature, mechanical properties, boundary conditions, and myocardial-vessel interaction are critical to produce realistic pre­dictions of blood ow throughout the wall of the heart.
The biom echanics of coronary circulation is intimately related to the blood supply of the heart (globally) as well as to the initiation of and progression of CAD (locally). Hence, there is a signicant need for understanding coronary blood ow in both health and disease at the global and local level. This book is intended to address this need by providing a comprehensive compendium on coronary circulation both globally, as it relates to blood perfusion of the heart muscle, and locally at the site

of CAD initiation and progression. Furthermore, this is the rst text to provide a distributive analysis of coronary circulation based on detailed measured vasculature and mechanical properties. This book provides quantitative physiology of the coronary circulation, using biomechanics to couple structure with function. It pro­vides a detailed biomechanical synthesis of coronary circulation based on a distrib­utive analysis of measured properties of the system (anatomy, mechanical properties, and boundary conditions) that addresses both the global and local circulations.
This book, Coronary Circulation: Anatomy, Mechanical Properties, and Bio- mechanics, provides a quantitative description of the coronary vasculature and mechanical properties. A number of boundary value problems are solved to provide analyses of coronary blood ow and stress distribution through the coronary vascu­lature, e.g., longitudinal pressure and ow distribution, local bifurcation ow and stress analysis, etc. The book consists of the following chapters: (1) Biomechanics, (2) Morphometry of Coronary Vasculature, (3) Mechanical Properties and Micro­structure of Coronary Arteries, (4) Constitutive Models of Coronary Arteries, (5) Network Analysis of Coronary Circulation: Steady-State Flow, (6) Network Analysis of Coronary Circulation: Pulsatile Flow, (7) Scaling Laws of Coronary Vasculature, and (8) Local Coronary Flow and Stres s Distribution.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the basic principles of biomechanics including terminology, approach, conservation laws, and some numerical methods of solu­tions. It sets the framework for the biomechanical approach to understand the function of an organ (specically the heart) in a quantitative manner. Chapter 2 focuses on the anatomy and morphometry of the coronary vasculature. It provides both the reductionist (reducing the system into its individual components) and integrationist (rebuilding the system from the individual components) approaches to understand the coronary vasculature. Chapter 3 uses the reductionist approach to understand the material properties of the coronary vasculature; i.e., it provides the mechanical response (or stress-strain relation) of individual segments of the coronary vasculature. It also provides the microstructural vessel wall data that dictates the macrostructural response of the vessels to loading. Chapter 4 uses the integrationist approach to synthesize the constitutive relation of the vessel wall. Both phenome­nological and microstructural constitutive laws are discussed. These mechanical measurements and mathematical formulations connect microstructure (e.g., elastin, collagen, ground substance, cells) to macro-mechanics (e.g., response to mechanical load such as pressure, axial load, torsion). Cha pters 5 (steady-state ow) and 6 (pulsatile ow) present network analysis of global circulation (pressure-ow rela­tion, perfusion, etc.) including models of coronary ow regulation. Analysi s of coronary circulation is presented that includes the interaction between myocardial contraction and coronary blood ow. Chapter 7 presents scaling laws that explain the design of the coronary vasculature. The principles of biomechanics are used to connect form (e.g., geometry of vasculature including diameters, lengths, numbers) with function (e.g., blood volume, ow). Finally, Chapter 8 presents local blood ow mechanics and the resulting vessel wall stresses (e.g., shear stresses, intramural stresses). These analyses provide the mechanical culprits for the spatial propensity of CAD initiation and progression.

Biomechanics-based modelling, which couples form (i.e., the structure of coro­nary vessels) with function (i.e., coronary perfusion), is the major theme of this book. The mathematical models of coronary circulation are both informed and calibrated by experimental data to minimize ad hoc assumptions. The predictions of pressure, ow, shear stresses, and intramural stresses, among others, are also validated against experimental data to provide condence in the models for under­standing coronary physiology and pathology. In order to understand local ow patterns, the key equations representing conservation of mass, momentum, and energy are described and applied in the context of the coronary circulatory system as a whole, as well as regionally. The technical details (including morphometric and mechanical data as well as mathematical analysis) are summarized in appendices for the interested reader to avoid technical detraction from the main discussions. The distributive models of the coronary vasculature presented are based on actual measured anatomy and mechanical properties of the system as opposed to the black boxapproach of lumped models. These idealized lumped models lack the real anatomy or mechanical properties of the system (i.e., analog circuits that do not reect the actual distributed vasculature or its material properties).
This book is intended for bioengineers, physiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and industry engineers who desire a clear understanding of coronary blood ow for further research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Although a balanced treatment of the topic is attempted with numerous references to other works, there is an emphasis on the work conducted by my research team over the past 25 years. My hope is that this work can embrace and stimulate the next generation of scientists, bioengineers, researchers, and clinicians to continue to contribute to this very vital area of research to understand the coronary circulation and heart function. Moreover, a similar biomechanical approach may be used by researchers to formulate a similarly detailed systematic understanding of other organs and body systems.
This work would not have been possible without the dedications and tireless efforts of numerous talented students, fellows, and collaborators over the past 25 years. The coauthors, listed on my publications in the reference section, are my collaborators to whom I am greatly indebted. The knowledge presented in this book would not have been possible without their tireless efforts. I would also like to acknowledge my current team for their dedication and contributions (in alphabetical order): Henry Chen, Huan Chen, Susy Choy, Bill Combs, Ali Dabiri, Yaghoub Dabiri, Greg Dick, Fred Field, Lijuan Fu, Xiaomei Guo, Ling Han, Terry Hubbard, Carlos Labarrere, Xiao Lu, Bhavesh Patel, Mengjun Wang, and Yanmin Wang. A special thanks to Prof. Dhanjoo Ghista and Dr. Amy Spilkin for the review and critique of the chapte rs and Martha Sanchez for technical assistance. Finally, I would like to thank Merry Stuber of Springer for her constant encouragement and commitment to this project and Maria David for shepherding this book to publication.
