Abstract Evaluation of plasma viscosity has been underutilized in the clinical practice.
Plasma viscosity is determined by water-content and macromolecular components. Plasma …

Disruption of the normal rheological properties of blood is considered an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular disease and plays a significant role in the aetiology of …

Because athletes during endurance events require rapid uptake of oxygen, the ability of red
blood cells (RBC) to move through capillaries may limit performance. Using ektacytometry …

The effects of exercise on the rheological properties of blood have not received much
research attention. Recent, limited evidence indicates that the viscosities of whole blood and …

Hemorheological disturbances may occur in more than 40% of patients with ischemic
cerebrovascular diseases. In this study the changes of rheological factors–hematocrit …

Hemorheological parameters are primary risk factors in ischemic heart disease (IHD). In the
present study the relation of these parameters to the severity of coronary artery disease …

The protective effects of plant polyphenol intake on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
are widely acknowledged. Caffeine‐free chicory coffee is a rich source of plant phenolics …

The pathophysiological abnormalities of stable angina (SA) and acute coronary syndromes
(ACS) may, in part, be promoted by fluid forces associated with local blood flow and hence …

Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is an important component of whole blood viscosity,
especially at low shear rates, and is the major cause of the non‐Newtonian flow properties …

Aerobic performance is dependent on both cardio-respiratory and peripheral factors with
hemodynamic parameters playing a major role. However, whether blood rheology might …
