Impact of Coronary Tortuosity on Coronary Blood Supply: A Patient-Specific Study
Journal: PLoS ONE
Year: 2013

Coronary tortuosity has minor influence on coronary blood supply at rest; while during exercise, patients with CT may lack the ability to adjust distal resistance sufficiently to compensate for the extra resistances generated by tortuosity and this may further lead to an ineffective regulation of the blood supply.
