Blood rheology, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease: The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study [PDF]
The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) showed that pravastatin reduced the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in 6,595 middle-aged hypercholesterolaemic men aged 45-64 years without prior myocardial infarction followed for an ...

The viscosity of the blood [PDF]
The full importance of a knowledge of the variations in the viscous resistance to be overcome by the blood in circulating through the capillaries and smaller vessels, and the actual significations of such data to the more thorough consideration of a large number of normal of normal and pathological conditions, especially those of the circulatory system,

Prolonged elevations in haemostatic and rheological responses following psychological stress in low socioeconomic status men and women [PDF]
Low socioeconomic status (SES) and psychological stress are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, and both may influence haemostatic responses.

LES of non-Newtonian physiological blood flow in a model of arterial stenosis [PDF]
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is performed to study the physiological pulsatile transition-to-turbulent non-Newtonian blood flow through a 3D model of arterial stenosis by using five different blood viscosity models: (i) Power-law, (ii) Carreau, (iii ...

Blood viscosity is an important determinant of local flow characteristics, which exhibits shear thinning behavior: it decreases exponentially with increasing shear rates. Both hematocrit and plasma viscosity influence blood viscosity.

The effect of physical activity on structural and functional arterial adaptations in humans: a narrative review [PDF]
Background and aims: Aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training reduce arterial stiffness, while resistance training does not increase or alter arterial stiffness. However, the molecular mechanism of these effects in different training methods

Murray's law revisited: Qu\'emada's fluid model and fractal trees [PDF]
In 1926, Murray proposed the first law for the optimal design of blood vessels. He minimized the power dissipation arising from the trade-off between fluid circulation and blood maintenance.

Blood viscosity after splenectomy. [PDF]
Blood viscosity and its contributory factors--namely, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen concentration, packed cell volume, red-cell deformability, and platelet count--were measured in 20 asymptomatic patients after splenectomy and compared with those in controls.

The rheological properties of blood play an important role in regulating blood flow in micro and macro circulation. In thalassemia syndromes red blood cells exhibit altered hemodynamic properties that facilitate microcirculatory diseases: increased ...
