Atherosclerosis: Understanding the Relationship Between Coronary Artery Disease and Stenosis Flow Reserve

  • Chapter
Textbook of Angiology

Abstract

The first study to look at the flow of fluids through tubular structures was published by Jean Leonard Marie Poiseuille in 1840.1 He described what became the basic model of blood flow.
