Abstract
The paper presents a numerical method of blood flow simulation within the coronary artery covered by the myocardial bridge. The myocardial bridge is a congenital coronary abnormality caused by the blood vessel location under one of the heart muscles. In this case, the blood flow within the vessel is partially disturbed which can cause several consequences. The presented numerical simulation allowed us to estimate the blood flow accompanied by the wall movement using dynamic mesh settings. In parallel to the numerical investigation, the experimental research was developed. A test rig was built to reconstruct the vessel wall motion occurring under the myocardial bridge in the in-vitro conditions.
