[Blood rheologic properties in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy]. 1988

Rheologic blood parameters--fluidity limit tau 0, viscosity n alpha 1, erythrocyte cohesion coefficient (A), hematocrit--were studied in 42 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 30 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and heart failure of stages I-III. Rheologic parameters tended to increase along with progression of heart failure while in IHD an opposite tendency was observed. Individual analysis in patients with DCM as well as those with IHD demonstrated, irrespectively of the stage of heart failure, both hyper- and hyporheological syndromes. Occurrence of thromboembolic complications was in both cases nearly the same (42.9% and 40%, correspondingly). The data obtained indicate at evident abnormality of rheologic blood parameters in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy progressing along with development of heart failure and suggest its possible role in intravascular thrombi formation.

D001809 Blood Viscosity The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
