Question
Chapter 17, Problem 1RE
Summary Introduction
To determine: The Poiseuille law to explain the symptoms of myocardial ischemia that do not usually occur until the vessel has been 75% occluded.
Introduction: The myocardial ischemia is caused due to blockage in the coronary artery that prevents the oxygen from reaching the muscles. The heart is unable to pump the blood, and the flow of blood is also reduced.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The Poiseuille law depicts that the change in pressure, viscosity, and length of the tube directly affects the flow in any vessel. The flow of blood is inversely proportional to the resistance in the system. The flow of blood is restricted because of the resistance caused due to cholesterol deposited in the coronary artery.
