We predict the pressure gradient using CFD and MRI in seven patients with AoCo, who had a previous MRI and cardiac catheterization study at rest and stress condition. We obtained a good agreement of pressure gradients measurement with the mean and peak value of the pressure curves. The average difference of pressure gradient using the mean values was 0.09mmHg and 1.34mmHg for rest and stress conditions, the mean difference of pressure gradient using the peak value was 0.6mmHg and 15.3mmHg for rest and stress conditions respectively. We are able to predict non-invasively the pressure gradient using CFD based on MRI.
