Abstract : This paper intends to study a real-life application of fluid mechanics in cardiovascular blood flow. The study of blood flow is termed as Hemodynamics. Fluid mechanics can be used to analyze the factors and impact of obstruction in blood flow due to fat, cholesterol, and plaque deposits in the coronary arteries of the human heart. These blockages are the grounds for coronary artery diseases and heart attacks. We will look at varying parameters of flowrate and pressure for different thicknesses of epicardial fat as well as define a relationship between these three.
