Network Analysis of Coronary Circulation: I. Steady-State Flow
5.1 Introduction
Coronary heart disease is one of the most prevalent health problems affecting humans around the world. Mechanically, the main problem in coronary heart disease is that there is insufcient blood supply to the heart muscle to fulll the cardiac metabolic needs. Therefore, the heart fails as an adequate blood pump. Despite the magnitude of this health problem, the coronary circulation system remains poorly understood, as clinical work has largely focused on the diseased vessels (atheroscle­rosis, hypertension, hypercholesteremia, diabetes, etc.) rather than on the dynamics of the healthy coronary blood ow.
The study of coronary circulation requires a bioengineering understanding of both the coronary system (complex anatomy consisting of millions of vessels spanning three orders of magnitude in dimensions, Chap. 2; nonlinear and non-isotropic passive and active mechanical properties, Chap. 3; nonlinear blood rheology including non-Newtonian properties in microcirculation, etc.) and the interactions with the surrounding myocardium. Despite progress in these areas (see Chaps. 24), many issues remain unresolved. Advancements in computer modeling and numerical methods now make it possible to develop anatomically based com­putational (distributive) models of the entire coronary vascular system rather than the lumpedmodels used in the past in which the anatomical details of the coronary vascular system are ignored. Computer simulation and modeling are important tools in studying the integrated coronary circulation because experimental avenues are highly limited, particularly in the circulation of the deeper layer of the heart which is not amenable to direct visualization.
Three kinds of hemodynamic problems are relevant to coronary ow and myo­cardial perfusion in cardiology. First, the longitudinal distribution of pressure and blood ow in the coronary blood vessels (i.e., prole of pressure and ow in successive orders of arteries and veins and capillaries) dictates the level of blood ow in the capillaries for oxygen and nutrient delivery to adjacent myocytes.

Second, the spatial distribution of perfusion in the myocardium is relevant because too large of heterogeneity in perfusion may pose the risk of local ischemia to some regions of myocardium. Lastly, the local details of the ow eld (e.g., wall shear stress and respective spatial and temporal gradients) inuence the endothelium, cholesterol transport, atherogenesis, atherosclerosis, stenosis, and dilatation. These hemodynamic properties interact, e.g., the spatial distribution of myocardial perfu­sion has an important inuence on myocardial infarction, and changes in spatial distribution are due to changes in longitudinal distribution of blood pressure and vascular volume. Also, the interaction of blood pressure, vessel elasticity, and smooth muscle tone in the myocardium may give rise to interesting coronary phenomena including phasic arterial inow and venous outow, signicant spatial and temporal ow heterogeneity, zero-ow pressure, and autoregulation, to mention just a few (see review by Hoffman & Spaan, 1990).
To understand coronary hemodynamic problems, it is necessary to analyze each component of system before synthesizing the whole. Accordingly, we need to use (1) models of vascular geometry and branching pattern, mechanical properties (passive and active) of the coronary vessels (arteries, capillaries and veins), and rheology of blood in the coronary vasculature (Chaps. 24), (2) apply the basic laws of physics to write down the governing equations (Chap. 1), and (3) Specify the appropriate boundary conditions to solve the boundary value problems of coronary circulation (Fig. 5.1), Chaps. 58. When the theoretical and experimental results are compared as shown in Fig. 5.1, one may nd that they do agree. In that case, the process ends successfully and one gains condence in the theory which can then be used to predict the behavior of the physiological system. On the other hand, one may nd that they disagree, and it becomes necessary to examine the cause of the
5.2 Steady-State Coronary Blood Flow 311
https://t.me/med1917
discrepancy. When the theory-experiment discrepancy is diagnosedone may wish to improve the experiment, or the theory, or both. The process is repeated until there is agreement between theory and experiment. This approach illustrates the use of physical principles, with the help of anatomy and mechanical properties, to explain and predict the physiology of the coronary circulation in quantitative terms.
This process is analogous to taking a radio apart into its components (e.g., antenna, printed circuit board, resistors, capacitors, coils and transformers, transis­tors, integrated circuits, speaker) and reassembling it. If we are successful at this reduction/integration exercise, we gain condence in our understanding of how the radio works. What is more interesting is when we are not succes sful. The latter challenges our understanding of the system and forces us to look deeper (i.e., examine our assumptions, logic, function of each component). Greater lessons are learned from failure than success, and eventual success leads to illumination of our understanding of the system.
In this chapter, we will use the laws of mechanics (Chap. 1) as a foundation to integrate or assemble the morphometric data of the coronary vasculature (Chap. 2) with the material properties of the coronary vasculature (Chaps. 3 and 4), to solve some boundary value problems of c oronary circulation under steady-state ow. The solutions will reveal the spatial distributions of transit times, pressure, shear stress, ow and perfusion; and interesting structure–function relations. This approach demonstrates the extent to which a bioengineering approach can yield precise information about coronary circulation leading to myocardial perfusion. The theory connects physical, morphometric, and rheological variables. Without such an approach, it would be very difcult to correlate these variables by conventional, empirical methods. Bel ow, we will solve boundary value problems focused on the rst two kinds of hemodynamic problems noted at above (i.e., longitudinal distri­bution of pressure and ow and spatial heterogeneity of perfusion) while Chap. 6 will consider the pulsatile ow including myocardial vessel interactions. Finally, Chap. 8 will address the local details of ow eld and local stress distributions in the vessel wall.
5.2 Steady-State Coronary Blood Flow
To study a system as complex as the complete coronary circulation, it is important to start at the simplest level, before adding additional levels of complexity. The simplest case is the steady-state (i.e., no time-dependence) blood ow in the dia­stolic, maximally vasodilated state of the coronary vasculature, which will be considered here rst.
Blood ow depends on two dimensionless numbers: the Reynolds number, N (NρUD/μ, where U is the mean ow velocity, D is the lumen dimension, ρ is the density of blood, and μ is the viscosity of blood. Reynolds number affects ow instability, turbulence, separation, entry and exit disturbances, and resistance of blood ow. The second important number is the Womersley number, N

Hence, in most coronary arteries, the ow can be approximated by Poiseuille ow (i.e., laminar ow); only in the larger coronary arteries is a correction to the Poiseuillean resistance needed. Thus, Poiseuille law can be used as a rst approximation, and corrections for higher Reynolds number and Womersley number can be made later.

5.2.1.1 Coronary Arterial Tree Model: Statistical Connectivity
To develop a realistic model of the entire coronary vascular circu it for numerical analysis, the model must have connectivity of the vessels that agree with the measured anatomical connectivity matrix (Chap. 2). Two vascular circuits have been specied for the hemodynamic analysis of coronar y ow distribution (Appen­dix 1). The asymmetric model (Fig. 5.3) satises all the statistical anatomical data, including the means and standard deviations of the diameters and lengths of vessels, and the mean connectivity matrix. Alternately the symmetric model satises all mean anatomical statistical data, but not the standard deviations and connectivity matrix. In the symmetric model, the measured connectivity matrix is replaced with an

The “...” denotes that each branch arising from the trunk gives rise to further branches whose branching pattern is also consistent with the connectivity matrix and so on down to the arterial capillaries (order 0a).

idealized diagonal one. When both the models are subjected to given inlet and outlet pressures, the longitudinal mean pressure proles (nodal pressure plotted as a function of the order number of the blood vessels) are likely to be the same. The relative dispersion (rat io of the standard deviation of a variable divided by its mean value) of the pressure and ow, however, will be very different in these two models.

Figure 5.4a and b show the mean values of longitudinal pressure distribution and the pressure drop per vessel element, respectively. Pressure boundary conditions at the rst capillary bifurcations are assumed to be a constant with a value of 26 mmHg. It is interesting that the symmetric model yields similar mean longitudinal blood pressure prole and pressure drop per element to that of the asymmetric model. The major difference between the asymmetric and symmetric models is that the former produces dispersions in ow, pressure, and volume, while the latter has zero dispersions. In both models, most of the pressure drop occurs across the rst four orders of vessels (Fig. 5.4). This suggests that the vascular tree topology may not play as important a role as the vascular geometry in dictating the shape of the pressure prole.
Based on the Poiseuille equation (Appendix 1), the pressure drop is dictated by the ratio R
