title: Calculation of blood velocity and pressure in stenosed renal artery considered as a Venturi tube.
abstract: The authors propose using a Venturi tube as a model of stenosed renal artery; they can thus calculate blood velocity and pressure in the stenosed part from estimated renal flow, systemic pressure and the hydraulic characteristics of the model.
