Flow in the thoracic aorta.

S Farthing, P Peronneau

    Cardiovascular Research
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study combined pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and theoretical analysis to understand aortic blood flow and wall shear stress. Findings correlate flow patterns and shear variations with potential atheromatous wall lesion locations.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Fluid Dynamics

    Background:

    • Understanding aortic blood flow dynamics is crucial for cardiovascular health.
    • Aortic velocity profiles and wall shear stress influence endothelial function and disease development.
    • Limited data exists on the correlation between detailed flow patterns and atheromatous lesion localization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance the understanding of aortic velocity profiles and wall shear stress.
    • To investigate the theoretical aspects of aortic blood flow, including vorticity and boundary layers.
    • To experimentally validate theoretical models using advanced velocimetry techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Combined theoretical flow analysis with pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry.
    • Developed theoretical models for aortic vorticity, velocity distribution, boundary layer, and branch effects.
    • Conducted experiments on dogs using real-time pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and bidimensional velocity probes.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental aortic velocity profiles.
    • Measured peak axial shear stress closely matched calculated values.
    • Observed maximum shear stress in the descending thoracic aorta ranged from 4.5 to 7.5 Pa, varying with cardiac output.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined theoretical and experimental approach provides a robust understanding of aortic hemodynamics.
    • Measured wall shear stress patterns show potential correlation with atheromatous wall lesion localization.
    • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the relationship between flow dynamics and cardiovascular disease progression.
