| Abstract | The majority of acute ischemic events are caused by plaque rupture and ensuing thrombosis. Early evaluation and continuous monitoring of a plaque's vulnerability are critical for reducing the risk of catastrophic cardio-cerebral events and mortality and morbidity of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Many studies have suggested that increased stress in the fibrous cap of atherosclerotic plaque is the key factor triggers a plaque rupture directly. In this study, we investigate the influence of the blood viscosity and bulk modulus of plaque compositions on the stress distribution in the fibrous cap, by simulating the fluid-structure interaction using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a. Our results indicated that, when the thickness of fibrous cap, the degree of luminal stenosis, and the other conditions were fixed, an increase of blood viscosity and a decrease of bulk modulus of lipid core caused shear stresses in all directions and normal stress along the inflow direction to increase. It can be inferred that the increase of blood viscosity and decrease of bulk modulus of lipid core may increase the risk of plaque rupture and then may lead to acute CV events. The simulation results agreed with the previous clinical/experimental studies that indicate that blood viscosity was a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease and soft lipid core was more susceptible to plaque rupture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
