Abstract :
Electrical simulation technique was used to study pulsatile blood flow in 14 left coronary arteries for flexible tube using non-Newtonian power law fluid. The present simulated electrical network model may be useful to decide whether to go for graft or bypass surgery for a patient suffering from various coronary disorders or with multiple coronary stenosis.
