Abstract

The rheological properties of the whole blood and plasma of patients with myocardial ischemia and diabetes mellitus and of donors have been investigated using a Couette rotational viscosimeter at a temperature of 25°C in the range of rates of shear of 0.5–60 sec−1. The rheological analysis was performed with the use of the Quemada relation. The functional state of the endothelium and some biochemical indices of the blood of these patients were investigated. It is shown that in patients with myocardial ischemia and diabetes mellitus, accompanied by dyslipemia and endocrine disturbances, rheological derangements and endothelial dysfunction develop.
