[State of microcirculation and cellular hemostasis in men with borderline arterial hypertension during thermoneutral "dry" water immersion]. 1985

L L Kirichenko, and V V Smirnov, and A G Evdokimova

Platelet hemostasis, microcirculation, blood viscosity and lipid metabolism were examined in 18 men with borderline hypertension and 8 healthy men before, during and after 7-day immersion. The exposure to thermoneutral dry water immersion produced hypercoagulopathic changes of platelet hemostasis in the healthy and hypertensive subjects. Platelet hemostasis returned to the pretest level in the healthy subjects 2 days and in the hypertensive subjects only 5 days after exposure. Prior to immersion the hypertensive subjects showed signs of capillarotrophic insufficiency which increased after exposure. On immersion day 3 the hypertensive subjects exhibited a higher blood viscosity and a larger content of total lipids and free fatty acids. All the parameters returned to normal 2 days after immersion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007101 Immersion The placing of a body or a part thereof into a liquid. Submersion,Immersions,Submersions
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
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.

D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
