Coronary Arteries and Veins

The simulation includes the left and right coronary arteries and veins, and the mesh uses shell elements for these components.

The left and right coronary arteries and veins are attached to the ventricles and to the right atrium via tie constraints and a hyperelastic material property definition. The Heart Model does not include blood flow within the coronaries, but it defines fluid cavities within each of the four coronary branches to apply loading.
