- The Premier of South Australia, Mike Rann, is embroiled in something of a sex scandal at the moment. I won’t go into all the sordid details, but, briefly, a woman by the name of Michelle Chantelois is claiming that Rann had sex with her several years ago (he was single but she was married at the time), a claim he is emphatically denying.
Because flowing blood has mass and velocity it has kinetic energy (KE). This KE is proportionate to the mean velocity squared (V2; from KE = ½ mV2). Furthermore, as the blood flows inside a vessel, pressure is exerted laterally against the walls of the vessel; this pressure represents the potential or pressure energy (PE). The total energy (E) of the blood flowing within the vessel, therefore, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies (assuming no gravitational effects) as shown below.
The Bernoulli’s equation can be considered to be a statement of the conservation of energy principle appropriate for flowing fluids. It is one of the most important/useful equations in fluid mechanics. It puts into a relation pressure and velocity in an inviscid incompressible flow. Daniel Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician and physicist in the mid-1700s. He excelled in the fields of statistics and probability, but also was influential in applying mathematics to physical mechanics. Particularly, he is known for his work in fluid dynamics, now known as Bernoulli’s Principle.
E = KE + PE (where KE ∝ V2)Therefore, E ∝ V2 + PE

There are two important concepts that follow from this relationship.

- Blood flow is driven by the difference in total energy between two points. Although pressure is normally considered as the driving force for blood flow, in reality it is the total energy that drives flow between two points (e.g., longitudinally along a blood vessel or across a heart valve). Throughout most of the cardiovascular system, KE is relatively low, so for practical purposes, it is stated that the pressure energy (PE) difference drives flow. When KE is high, however, adding KE to the PE significantly increases the total energy, E. To illustrate this, consider the flow across the aortic valve during cardiac ejection. Late during ejection, the intraventricular pressure (PE) falls slightly below the aortic pressure (PE), nevertheless, flow continues to be ejected into the aorta. The reason for this is that the KE of the blood as it moves across the valve at a very high velocity ensures that the total energy (E) in the blood crossing the valve is higher than the total energy of the blood more distal in the aorta.
- Kinetic energy and pressure energy can be interconverted so that total energy remains unchanged. This is the basis of Bernoulli's Principle. This principle can be illustrated by a blood vessel that is suddenly narrowed then returned to its normal diameter. In the narrowed region (stenosis), the velocity increases as the diameter decreases. Quantitatively, V ∝ 1/D2 because flow (F) is the product of mean velocity (V) and vessel cross-sectional area (A) (F = V x A), and A is directly related to diameter (D) (or radius, r) squared (from A = π r2). If the diameter is reduced by one-half in the region of the stenosis, the velocity increases 4-fold. Because KE ∝ V2, the KE increases 16-fold. Assuming that the total energy is conserved within the stenosis (E actually decreases because of resistance as shown in the figure), then the 16-fold increase in KE must result in a reciprocal decrease in in the magnitude of PE. Once past the narrowed segment, KE will revert back to its pre-stenosis value because the post-stenosis diameter is the same as the pre-stenosis diameter and flow (and therefore, velocity) is conserved. Because of the resistance of the stenosis, and the turbulence the likely occurs, the post-stenosis PE and E will both fall. To summarize this concept, blood flowing at higher velocities has a higher ratio of kinetic energy to potential (pressure) energy.
An interesting, yet practical application of Bernoulli's Principle is found when blood pressure measurements are made from within the ascending aorta. As described above, during ventricular ejection, the velocity and hence kinetic energy of the flowing blood is very high. The instantaneous blood pressure that is measured within the aorta will be significantly different depending upon how the pressure is measured. As illustrated to the right, if a catheter has an end-port (E) sensor that is facing the flowing stream of blood, it will measure a pressure that is significantly higher than the pressure measured by a side-port (S) sensor on the same catheter. The reason for the discrepancy in measured pressures is that the end-port measures the total energy of the flowing blood. As the flow stream 'hits' the end of the catheter, the kinetic energy (which is high) is converted to potential (or pressure) energy, and added to the potential energy to equal the total energy. The side-port will not be 'hit' by the flowing stream so kinetic energy is not converted to potential energy. The side-port sensor, therefore, only measures the potential energy, which is the lateral pressure acting on the walls of the aorta. The difference between the two types of pressure measurements can range from a few mmHg to more than 20 mmHg depending upon the peak velocity of the flowing blood within the aorta.
