Abstract
Atherosclerotic plaques in the human circulatory system are a major cause of diseases in the blood vessels and the heart. These plaques can grow and block blood vessels, preventing blood from being supplied to the distal end. Mild to moderate stenosis does not cause a significant reduction in blood flow, and clinical signs do not appear unless the lesion has progressed to an advanced stage, and there is no reliable way to detect the lesion at early stages. Digital subtraction angiography is a commonly used method to detect atherosclerosis in medical clinics. DAS is considered to be “gold standard” for the diagnosis of vascular diseases. This article will analyze, model and evaluate the indicators of atherosclerosis development from the perspective of molecular communication and angiography. The main idea is to use the propagation of contrast agents as a function of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel. Its specific implementation can be expressed by the propagation index of the contrast agent obtained after DAS processing. DAS processing is easily achieved in medicine. This article has practical significance for detecting similar vascular diseases.
