Development and testing of the application based on coronary artery diseases (CAD)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death globally. Typically, it occurs when part of the coronary artery develops atherosclerosis, which causes the narrowing of the vessel lumen. The decision to be taken to treat the stenotic artery vessel is often influenced by several factors. The aim of this study is to develop an application (app) to provide support to the physician in decision-making. The app has been developed with an Application Builder based on Java, as a result of the previous simulation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). By using a standard coronary anatomy, through the app it is possible to vary the degree of the stenosis to obtain information about the hemodynamic variations of not easily accessible parameters.
