- You are help to educate a patient on the ramifications of a partial arterial blockage you have recently discovered. To communicate the severity, you decide to tell the patient about how much of the volume of blood that normally passes through the artery has decreased. The relationship you are describing is called AV Poiseuille's equation and it reads: ™R^ (P₁-P₂) 8nl If the At radius of the artery decreases by a factor of 2 because of the blockage (as shown in the image below), by what factor has the volume flow rate (A) decreased?
