Haematocrit values in ischaemic heart disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Haemoglobin (g/dl) and haematocrit (%) values were determined in 30 healthy controls and 40 patients with ischaemic heart disease. Both groups were non-smokers. Haemoglobin and haematocrit values (mean +/- SE) in patients were 15.65 +/- 0.18 and 46.45 +/- 0.49 and in controls 14.30 +/- 0.14 and 41.50 +/- 0.23. Significantly higher (P < 0.001) haematocrit value by influencing the blood viscosity may impose extra burden on the ischaemic heart.

متن کاملBLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS AS PREDICTORS OF ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND
The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...
متن کاملNormalization of haemoglobin: why not?
It has been suggested that normalization of haemoglobin with epoetin in anaemic chronic renal failure (CRF) patients might result in even greater benefits than those currently achieved with partial haemoglobin correction. Four prospective randomized trials recently examined this hypothesis. The Scandinavian Multicentre Trial, which was completed in February 1998, included 416 haemodialysis, con...
متن کاملHaematocrit, hypertension and smoking in patients with transient ischaemic attacks and in age and sex matched controls.
The blood pressure, smoking habit and haemotocrit of 154 patients with transient ischaemic attacks and 191 age-and sex-matched neurological controls were studied. Regression analysis revealed that the haematocrit value was related to both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and to smoking. Smoking elevated the haematocrit by 1.9 +/- 0.59 in males and by 2.18 +/- 0.68 in females. When these a...
متن کاملMolecular exclusion electrophoresis of human serum lipoproteins: patterns in control and ischaemic heart-disease populations.
1. Electrophoresis of pre-stained lipoproteins on acrylamide-gel gradients has been carried out on serum from populations of control subjects and patients with ischaemic heart disease. The technique resolves components intermediate in position and, by inference, in size, between very-low-density and low-density lipoproteins. 2. These central band components were found in 37% of a control popula...
