Most cardiovascular emergencies are directly caused by coronary artery disease. Coronary arteries can become clogged or occluded,
leading to damage to the heart muscle supplied by the artery. Modem cardiovascular medicine can certainly be improved by meticulous
analysis of geometrical factors closely associated with the degenerative disease that results in narrowing of the coronary
arteries. There are, however, inherent difficulties in developing this type of mathematical models to completely describe
the real or ideal geometries that are very critical in plaque formation and thickening of the vessel wall. Neither the mathematical
models of the blood vessels with arthrosclerosis generated by the heart and blood flow or the NMR/MRI data to construct them
are available. In this study, a mathematical formulation for the geometrical factors that are very critical for the understanding
of coronary artery disease is presented. Based on the Bloch NMR flow equations, we derive analytical expressions to describe
in detail the NMR transverse magnetizations and signals as a function of some NMR flow and geometrical parameters which are
invaluable for the analysis of blood flow in restricted blood vessels. The procedure would apply to the situations in which
the geometry of the fatty deposits, (plague) on the interior walls of the coronary arteries is spherical. The boundary conditions
are introduced based on Bessel, Boubaker and Legendre polynomials.
