Disease relevance of Hemorheology

• The effects of defibrination on hemorheology, middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity, and CO2 reactivity during hypocapnia were evaluated in normal subjects [1].
• Age-related macular degeneration is associated with increased vascular endothelial growth factor, hemorheology and endothelial dysfunction [2].
• Effects of ketanserin on microhemodynamics and hemorheology in patients with essential hypertension [3].
• Moreover, since dyslipoproteinemias are associated with impaired hemorrheology, we investigated the effect of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia on hemorrheological parameters before and after triglyceride-lowering therapy [4].
• A controlled trial of the effect of folate supplements on homocysteine, lipids and hemorheology in end-stage renal disease [5].

High impact information on Hemorheology

• HES 200/0.5 is not HES 200/0.5. Influence of the C2/C6 hydroxyethylation ratio of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on hemorheology, coagulation and elimination kinetics [6].
• One mechanism by which high-density lipoprotein cholesterol protects the vascular system includes hemorheology, the study of blood flow [7].
• We investigated the effect of stopping smoking by using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) on hemorheology parameters, on the cotinine and thiocyanate plasma concentrations and the exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) [8].
• The prothrombotic state was quantified by fibrinogen (an index of hemorheology and a coagulation factor), soluble P-selectin (sP-sel, marking platelet activation), von Willebrand factor (vWF, an index of endothelial dysfunction), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1, a regulator of fibrinolytic activity) levels [9].
• Folate had no significant effect on hemorheology [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Hemorheology

• Improvement in flow with pentoxifylline implies that hemorrhage and resuscitation impair hepatic microvascular hemorrheology and that addition of pentoxifylline to standard resuscitation corrects the impairment [10].
• We conclude that triglyceride-lowering therapy by gemfibrozil had no substantial beneficial effects with respect to hemorrheology in patients with familial hypertriglyceridemia [4].
• A new treatment modality utilizing the heparin-induced extracorporeal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) precipitation (HELP), offers the possibility of obtaining therapeutic success not only in cases of severe hypercholesterolemia but also in the field of hemorheology [11].
• The beneficial effects of urapidil on hemorheology could add to its therapeutic effects in the treatment of arterial hypertension [12].
• A successful suppression of proteinuria is accomplished by using Ganoderma lucidum and vitamins C and E. The beneficial effect of Ganoderma lucidum appears to be multifactorial, including the modulation of immunocirculatory balance, antilipid, vasodilator, antiplatelet and improved hemorheology [13].

Biological context of Hemorheology

• Fibrinolysis and hemorheology in chronic venous insufficiency: a double blind study of troxerutin efficiency [14].
• Stress-induced changes in hemorheology and hemorheological changes were assessed by measuring plasma viscosity, calculated plasma volume, and total plasma protein [15].
• Recent aspects of hemostasis, hematology and hemorheology in preeclampsia-eclampsia [16].

Anatomical context of Hemorheology

• Apheresis related effects on coronary artery disease comprise functional improvements of hemorheology and vasomotion as well as morphological benefits like regression of luminal narrowing and plaque stabilization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[17]
• Endothelin, microcirculation and hemorheology [18].

Associations of Hemorheology with chemical compounds

• Effect of heparin-induced extracorporeal low-density lipoprotein precipitation and bezafibrate on hemorheology and clinical symptoms in cerebral multiinfarct disease [19].
• Effect of enalapril on hemorheology in hypertensive patients with renal disease [20].
• These data suggest that ketanserin beneficially affects microhemodynamics and hemorheology [3].
• In all cases, HELP led to a statistically significant reduction of fibrinogen (p < 0.0001) and other parameters relevant to hemorheology, this effect, however, only being retained in the bezafibrate group [19].
• Effects of alloxan-induced diabetes on hemorheology in rabbits [21].

Gene context of Hemorheology

• Hemorheology, plasma protein composition and von Willebrand factor in type I diabetic nephropathy [22].
• Altered hemorheology in patients with IgA nephropathy [23].
• The aim of this study was to test the effect of a novel acid-resistant antioxidant on the hemorrheology in alcoholics [24].
• In citrate venous blood, the following parameters were determined: carotid mean velocity, carotid intimal-medial-thickness (IMT), capillary circulation parameters, hemorheology index, serum glucose, and lipids [25].
• Besides the marked reduction of LDL particles by all techniques it has become apparent that only the H.E.L.P. system results in an equally significant change in hemostaseology, hemorheology and vasomotion because of its simultaneously removal of LDL, Lp(a), fibrinogen and CRP [26].
