A patient complaining of chest pain with exercise is evaluated by cardiac catheterization. The left anterior descending (LAD) branch of the coronary artery is visualized but the contrast angiography is poor. A Doppler-tipped catheter is inserted and the blood velocity is observed to increase transiently from 10 cm/sec to 70 cm/sec and then decrease back to 10 cm/sec as the probe passes a particular location in the artery. What was the cause of these changes in velocity measurements?
A. A coronary artery aneurysm with a cross-sectional area 1/7th the size of the native artery
B. A coronary artery aneurysm with a cross-sectional area 7 times greater than the native artery
C. A coronary artery obstruction with a cross-sectional area 1/7th of the size of the native
artery
D. A coronary artery obstruction with a cross-sectional area 7 times greater than the native artery
