Predicting the sites in coronary arteries that are susceptible to plaque deposition is essential for the development of clinical treatment strategies and prevention. However, to date, no physiological biomarkers for this purpose have been developed. We hypothesized that the possibility of plaque deposition at a specific site in the coronary artery is associated with wall shear stress (WSS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR).
