Thrombosis and hemorheology

  • Chapter
Clinical Hemorheology

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 74))

Abstract

The potential importance of hemorheology in altering blood flow and oxygen delivery has been considered in Chapter 5 of this book. In Chapter 6, the contribution of rheological factors to ischemia of the heart, brain and limbs was discussed. The present chapter reviews the contribution of hemorheology to thrombosis. This is a young field, for only in recent years have rheology and thrombology come together. However, it is already apparent that rheological phenomena are potentially of considerable importance in thrombogenesis and in the pathophysiology of the tissue infarction which follows arterial thrombosis.
