| Re = vrp/Eta | |
|---|---|
| v | stenosis, exercise, patent ductus arteriosus (shunt), cuff pressure between systolic and diastolic (arteriosclerotic plaque?) |
| p | not clinically important in blood (1.045) |
| r | produces changes in v |
| Eta | decreased hematocrit (anemia) |
Note: turbulence damages blood vessel walls, increasing tendency for turbulence
