Answer:

The basic tenet of calculating resistance is that flow is equal to driving pressure divided by flow rate.

r = ΔP\div q

where

  • R is Resistance measured in HGU
  • ΔP is the change in pressure across the circulation loop measured in mmHg
  • Q is the flow through the vasculature measured in L/min

So resistance is equal to:

r = 37mmhg \div 0.017l \div min = 2176hgu
