Treatment and Physic Involved

Their are quite a few ways to treat atherosclerosis including an atherectomy, balloon angioplasty, a stint,or even blood thinners. The first three treatment options have their own special way of moving or removing the plaque that is built of in the arteries and opening up the artery solving the problems mentioned in the previous post by increasing the radius allowing for a constant velocity and area for the artery and allowing the less work to be done and more energy to be conserved by keeping a constant speed. Blood thinners such as aspirin use a different method to solve the problem by lowering the density of the blood allowing it to travel through the arteries more easily without as much surface tension and viscosity.
