Abstract
The motivation for the present study is to better understand the hemodynamics that may be involved with the onset of Myocardial Infarction (MI). We know the sequence of events is plaque rupture followed by thrombogenesis and then MI. There are several theories about the cause of rupture and fluid mechanics is cited as a possible theory.
