Abstract
The term “arteriolar blockade” was first used by Brookes (1970) to denote a method of blood flow measurement whereby arterioles are blockaded by labelled particles introduced into the arterial system. The principle of the method is that if a large number of particles of appropriate size are injected into the left ventricle, they will lodge in the arteriolar beds in proportion to the fraction of the cardiac output perfusing a given tissue or organ. If these particles are labelled isotopically, then the proportion of cardiac output delivered to the tissue is given by the ratio of tissue counts to the total counts injected.
