From: Pulmonary artery blood flow dynamics in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Comparison of pulmonary blood flow dynamics between central and peripheral type CTEPH. Pulmonary flow velocity (a), wall shear stress (b), oscillatory shear index (c), and blood stagnation volume (d) were simulated by CFD in the pulmonary arteries of patients with CTEPH in comparison with the central and peripheral types. Stagnation was defined as flow velocity of < 0.01 m/s. Data are presented as median (interquartile range). Cross indicates mean. The numbers in each box plot indicate the sample size for each group. ns, not significant.
