Abstract

An experimental model for heart–mural coronary artery–myocardial bridge was established based on the theory of haemodynamics. The application of the model demonstrated that it can repeat to great extent the phenomenon of the myocardial bridge compressing the mural coronary artery, which results in abnormal haemodynamic characteristics. The results of simulation experiments are mostly consistent with clinical research.
