Effects of Changes in the Apparent Viscosity of Blood with Vessel Size on Retinal Microcirculation:Significance of the Fåhraeus-Lindqvist Effect
2011
Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the influence of the Fåhraeus-Lindqvist effect on the microcirculation in the arteriovenous network of the human retina. A mathematical model was used to simulate the arteriovenous distributions of hemodynamic parameters within a microvascular network of successive, symmetric bifurcating branches that were constructed based on both flow conservation and a modified Murray's law with a diameter exponent of 2.85. The vessel calibers ranged
