Temporal evolution of flow variables. The temporal dependence of pressure and volume flow (left) and the separation cycle during deformation (right) of a series of two myocardial bridges are illustrated. The dashed lines represent flow variables in segments with deformation (Ω _{s 2}(red) and Ω _{s 5}(blue)), while solid lines show the flow variables in segments without deformation (Ω _{s 1}(black) proximal, Ω _{s 3}(green) in the centre and Ω _{s 6}(yellow) distal to the stenoses). Separation and reattachment during the cardiac cycle was observed for severe deformation between 0.1 s and 0.4 s (right).
