[Multi-distributed ischemia and degree of hemorrheological changes].

A hemorheological study has been carried out in patients suffering from peripheral occlusive arterial disease alone or associated with occlusive arterial disease of the epiaortic vessels or with ischemic heart disease. Significantly more severe hemorheological impairments of whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and erythrocyte filterability have been observed in patients with ischemia of two vascular districts than in patients with peripheral ischemia alone.
