Elevated Whole-Blood Viscosity is Associated with Gallstones
BACKGROUND Gallstones are associated with dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, and carotid intima-media thickness, which all are related to hyperviscosity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations between blood viscosity and gallstones. MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated the associations between blood viscosity and gallstones in a study conducted in middle-aged s...
متن کاملElevated blood viscosity is associated with cerebral small vessel disease in patients with acute ischemic stroke
BACKGROUND Increased level of blood viscosity, which is one of the major factors that determine blood rheology, has been reported as a risk factor or predictor for cerebrovascular events. We investigated how blood viscosity is associated with acute stroke and chronic radiological manifestations of cerebral small vessel disease, and how blood viscosity changes after stroke. METHODS We prospect...
متن کاملWhole blood viscosity and cerebral blood flow.
BLOOD has anomalous rheological properties, particularly in certain disease states. It may therefore be necessary to consider these properties when attempting to assess and perhaps to improve the state of a patient's cerebral circulation. So what evidence is there that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is affected by viscosity? Before attempting to answer this question, one should be aware of what infl...
متن کاملevaluation of whole blood viscosity in patients with aortic sclerosis
background: blood viscosity and aortic sclerosis (as) are strong predictors of cardiovascular events. the effects of blood viscosity on as have not been studied adequately. we aimed to investigate the potential connection between whole blood viscosity (wbv) and as. methods: as was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. the estimation of wbv was carried out at both high shear rate (hsr) (...
متن کاملElevated blood viscosity in patients with borderline essential hypertension.
In patients with borderline hypertension, total peripheral resistance (TPR) is either elevated or abnormally related to cardiac output. Since blood viscosity is one determinant of TPR, we compared various components of blood viscosity in 25 patients with borderline hypertension and 25 normal subjects. Under all experimental blood flow conditions examined, blood viscosity directly correlated wit...
