[Coagulation and rheologic indices in the hyperviscosity syndrome]

In vitro studies of blood coagulation by the macromethod and blood rheology measurements by rotation rheogoniometer helped assess blood aggregation status in normal subjects and patients with elevated viscosity syndrome associated with acute myocardial infarction. The findings also evidence relationships between stabilized index of fluidity limit and red cell deformability, fibrinogen concentration and fluidity limit, hematocrit and blood viscosity, clot density and total hemostatic index.
