The RI is altered not by vascular resistance alone but by the combination of vascular resistance and vascular compliance. [2] [3] Normal mean renal artery RI for an adult is 0.6 with 0.7 the upper limit of normal. In children, RI commonly exceeds 0.7 through 12 months of age and can remain above 0.7 through 4 years of age. [4]
The pressure drop of the arterioles is the product of flow rate and resistance: ∆P=Q xresistance. The high resistance observed in the arterioles, which factor largely in the ∆P is a result of a smaller radius of about 30 μm. [24] The smaller the radius of a tube, the larger the resistance to fluid flow.
Applying spectral Doppler to the renal artery and selected interlobular arteries, peak systolic velocities, resistive index, and acceleration curves can be estimated (Figure 4) (e.g., peak systolic velocity of the renal artery above 180 cm/s is a predictor of renal artery stenosis of more than 60%, and a resistive index, which is a calculated ...

In fluid dynamics, a flow with periodic variations is known as pulsatile flow, or as Womersley flow.The flow profiles was first derived by John R. Womersley (1907–1958) in his work with blood flow in arteries. [1]
Despite having the highest workplace safety rate in the country and a 37.8 hour work week on average, Vermont ranks low due to the 48.46 happiness index and $15,263 average disposable income.
An increased pulsatility may be caused by cirrhosis, as well as increased right atrial pressure (which in turn may be caused by right heart failure or tricuspid regurgitation). [9] Portal vein pulsatility can be quantified by pulsatility indices (PI), where an index above a certain cutoff indicates pathology:
Body mass index vs. body roundness index. Body mass index (BMI) measures a person’s height and weight and helps identify overweight or obesity.
