[Status of microcirculation and rheological properties of blood in patients with cerebral circulatory disorders].

Microcirculation and rheological properties of blood were investigated over time on the basis of the findings of biomicroscopy of the bulbar conjunctiva in 61 patients with different stages of circulatory encephalopathy in the presence of arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis. Rheological properties of blood were changed at all stages of disease. Correlations between the ability of erythrocytes to aggregation and the degree of their intravascular aggregation by the findings of biomicroscopy of the bulbar conjunctiva were not found. The importance of investigation of the intravascular aggregation of erythrocytes and theological properties of blood for assessment of the cerebral vascular microcirculation, control of therapy, and verification of some aspects of the mechanism of action of various drugs was shown.
