Could increased axial wall stress be responsible for the development of atheroma in the proximal segment of myocardial bridges?
BACKGROUND: A recent model describing the mechanical interaction between a stenosis and the vessel wall has shown that axial wall stress can considerably increase in the region immediately proximal to the stenosis during the (forward) flow phases, so that abnormal biological processes and wall damag...
