Decrease in ISV diameter exacerbates the decrease in WSS caused by hematocrit reduction.

<p><b>(A)</b> Systolic WSS distributions in models WT (14% Ht), NoRBC1 (0% Ht) and NoRBC2 (0% Ht and 18% ISV diameter reduction). <b>(B)</b> Predicted systolic WSS levels in the CA (i), CV (ii), aISVs (iii) and vISVs (iv) for the 3 models. Statistical comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA w... View More
