Document Summary

Bioe 10: week 2 class lecture notes. Rt = 1 + 7 + 2 + 8 + 1 = 1. All terminal arteries are always in parallel. A large arteries and terminal artery are not in parallel. Rs is the large vessel resistance is the small vessel bed resistance. If the radius of the vessel is decreased by 50% by the presence of a blockage, then (assuming poiseuille flow): Rl2 = 1 t = 1 + 9. Therefore, a decrease in vessel radius by 50% leads to increase in total resistance of only 1. 5%. What is the raidus of the vessel is decreased by 75% (from r ( 2 = . Therefore, a decrease in vessel radius by 75% leads to increase in total resistance of 25. 5%. This would cause a clinically significant decrease in blood flow and would require intervention. In practice, angioplasty is not performed unless there is a >70% decrease in vessel radius.
