The Hemodynamic Effect of Enhanced External Counterpulsation Treatment on Atherosclerotic Plaque in the Carotid Artery: A Framework of Patient-Specific Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis

<div>AWSS distributions over the cardiac cycle. (a) Pre-EECP. (b) During EECP. Note that high level AWSS occurred at the internal carotid artery (ICA), whereas low level AWSS occurred at bulb. EECP intervention significantly increased the AWSS level at sinus of the bifurcation.</div>
