Multiple Choice

Researchers are studying the coronary circulation in various healthy and diseased states.  They measure blood flow and pressure (blue circle) in one of the epicardial coronary arteries of an experimental animal with cardiovascular physiology similar to that of humans.  Then they clamp the artery to simulate 60% atherosclerotic stenosis and remeasure the flow and pressure distal to the lesion.  Which of the following changes are most likely to be observed once steady state is achieved?
