Synthetic pressure wave at the inlet. Synthetic pressure wave at the inlet to the left coronary tree are modelled by equation (49). We have chosen the parameters according to measurements in [38]. The baseline (black line), is represented by a stationary pressure p s = 8 kPa and a pressure amplitude of p 0 = 7 kPa, while for the inlet pressure under dobutamine (red line) p s = 6.6 kPa and p 0 = 5.5 kPa. In both cases the raising time was t r = 0.25 s.
